Feelings that Accompany an Autism Diagnosis
All of these feelings that accompany a diagnosis of your child are ok. Other parents have felt the same way, you are not alone.

When we have high expectations for our children with autism it makes a huge difference. Believing in our kids will help them believe in themselves!
We don’t want to throw our children out into the world, with no support whatsoever, but we must help them make their way to independence – gradually, and when they’re ready. Each step must be taken when the child is developmentally and emotionally ready for the next step.
I believe that if we can balance the seriousness of the diagnosis with hope the extended family can become a wonderful support for the parents, but they have to understand what autism really means.
