Just Diagnosed

My daughter was just diagnosed with Asperger's. I am devastated. We have had so much trouble with her behavior at home that I don't know that I have the strength or desire to deal with this. Is there anyone out there that feels this way? The social skills training is to be long and arduous. I am angry. I want a normal kid without all the drama. I am sick of her running our lives and now she'll be doing it again with us arranging our lives around her therapy, etc. I'm tired of it. It is not a relief to know this it is a burden that I don't know that I want to carry. Yes, I have a therapist, but that doesn't change my reality of having to live with this kid.
