Maybe Aspergers

janeytiff

Hi.  I have a 22 year old daughter who I think may have Aspergers and I was hoping for some advice/support. I've wondered over the last few years and have looked into the symptoms but have never said anything to her because she's very difficult to talk to on a personal level.  I don't know whether it will benefit her to find out whether she has Aspergers or not, and I hear that it's very difficult to get a diagnosis, especially later in life.  Is there anyone on the forum with Aspergers, who is older, understands and has been diagnosed later in life?

Thanks.

  • Thanks.  That's really helpful. 

    I know that my daughter feels different to others and, although really intelligent, has trouble communicating her emotions, especially with her family.

    Can I ask, how you came to be diagnosed?  Did you realise yourself or did others approach you? I suppose I'm asking if you would have minded if someone had said something to you, to give me some idea of how to approach the subject with my daughter.
