[quote=Anonymous]OP, you’re not the expert here, so don’t even entertain the notion that you have to be able to answer your mother’s questions. If your dd receives a diagnosis, ask the specialist for resources. They can share books and websites that are legitimate sources of information. When you tell your parents, come prepared with a book to hand off. Make sure you have resources that explain how ASD presents differently in girls than boys. That might help your mom understand why she didn’t expect a diagnosis and your dd got one anyway. Shut down any expectation that getting a diagnosis a day, week, month or even year ago means that you have all the answers. Even with the ASD label, your dd is a unique individual. Her ASD won’t look like someone else’s ASD.[/quote]
