The Diagnosis Stage of Autism

The Diagnosis Stage is the very first stage of every parent’s autism journey because it’s time to learning starts with that your child is autistic.

But definitely, this is not the end…

The Diagnosis Stage is not only just about going to your child’s diagnosis, it’s about accepting and getting started processing it.

It is not enough to simply recognize signs of autism in your child, reach out for referrals, and get a diagnosis from your child’s doctor or specialist.

This is the first (and even smallest step) in this stage.

This stage must be more important about understanding your feelings about autism (some that it is possible you are not even aware you have) and also accepting that autism is a natural and it’s a good part of your autistic beautiful child.

Depending on your experiences before your child’s diagnosis, this stage may go quickly or take some time.

For me, we can say the longest part was waiting for a doctor appointment with the neurodevelopmental pediatrician. 

you may need more time to process it.
