I can't handle this

My 11 month old son is showing red flags for ASD. I just got his progress note from daycare, which shows that he is very behind in all milestones other than motor skills. I'm working to set up an EI eval, hearing test, and appt with a developmental pediatrician. I know he's very young and nothing is definitive. But I am so terrified. I walk around all day feeling like I've been punched in the stomach. I can't eat or sleep. I'm not functioning at work. I don't know how to handle the uncertainty of the next months or years- the not knowing is probably worse than a diagnosis.

I know I need to be strong for my son, but I am falling apart. Please tell me how you got through this.
