Do you ever worry you're not worrying enough?

Weird feeling tonight.  I was reading Chris's recent round of evaluations reports in preparation for tomorrow's meeting and I keep reading mild to moderate autism and I remember when I first read it - the sadness, the pain in my heart, but now I'm reading them and you'd think I was reading the news - no sadness, nothing really.

And I've noticed that lately I'm not as anxious about Chris dx.  It just is.

I'm not sure if in a few weeks, all the sad feelings will come crashing back but for now I'm oddly mellow.

For those of you who've dealt with this a little longer - is this just part of the process?

Thanks

    For me, yes.  Things will mellow out..i'll kind of go to my happy place and then something will bring it all back and i'll be on the war path for another opinion or another option.

    personally when my son was dx I felt relief.  I was being criticized for my "lack of parenting skills."  My husband had a harder time accepting it.

     

    It's a normal part of the process!

    Depending on the day I go from feeling I am not worrying/doing enough to thinking he's not autistic at all and I am completely over reacting....this is 6 months after his dx, I was hoping I would be better by now :(
