Autism - Accepting the Diagnosis of Autism

Anger - Anger is common emotion that arises after one you recieves a diagnosis of Autism. You might be angry with yourself, or angry with God. Why is your child Autistic? You might be angry with other parents that have healthy children. This is a normal feeling to experience. But emotions are not the real you. Remember, while you are feeling angry, to think of all the great things about your child.

Share your feelings with others. Once shared anger has a tendency to burn away. Keeping anger bottled up can be a bad thing, fueling stress and clouding your judgement.

Grief - It is not unusual for a parent who gets a diagnosis of Autism for their child, to go though a grieving period. They are sad that their child has something wrong with them. They may be feeling sad that the dreams they had for their child may have to change. They might be sad over the way they think the world will now treat their child. Tears may come when pondering the hardships they will face. Grief is a normal emotion to go through.

The key is to not fight your grief, but to get through it, and on to the acceptance. Try not to look at the things that are wrong. There will have to be some adjustments made to your plans for your child's future. That is what life is all about, change. If you find yourself unable to move past the grieving stage, you might need to talk to someone. Consider having a few therapy sessions to deal with the feelings you are experiencing.

Acceptance - Coming to terms with the diagnosis of Autism can take awhile. Some people are just glad to have that answer to what is wrong with their child. Others have a harder time accepting their child is different from other kids. Eventually you will accept that your child is different, and that is okay.
