advice needed

pixie

Hi

My daughter cam to me the other day and havng read about aspergers online and taking the tests believes she has aspergers, I do too, she show 90% of the traits, the thing that affects her most is her lack of social skills, she explained it to me as not having anything in her head to say when her peers are in conversation, she has to concentrate to thin kof something to say which doesnt come naturally, i am trying to get her diagnosed but would like some advice, there are no groups in my area but although i have a few suggestions for her it would help if there are others who have benefited from advice on how they can deal with this..

  • I was diagnosed last September aged 23. I know there is a lady on here who was not diagnosed til 50. How old is your daughter? Has she ever shown signs of other problems before? I'm not trying to say she doesn't have it - please don't think that. It's just i know myself i suffered for over 10years before i was properly diagnosed. I was in and out of psychiatric hospital and had many diagnoses.

    What help are you getting at the minute?

    Keep reading up on it. I read something different nearly every night.

    Good luck.

    Anne.
