collecting objects

NAS77502

Just discovered a suitcase full of toys/games my 29 year old daughter has collected . Am struggling to cope with this act the moment as she has come home to me temporarily but seems not to be moving back out anytime soon . Is this something normal ?  She also plays on games a lot . Nothing new as she did as a child but I haven't lived with her in ages and as 29 am bit shocked .

I find it hard to understand her . She was only diagnosed a few months ago .

Thanks

    Mild eccentricities are par for the course for autistics. Being autistic, as I presume she is, means that your daughter is not neurotypical (the type of brain possessed by the majority of the population) and so does not behave in a neurotypical way. Your expectations concerning behaviour in an adult neurotypical are not really applicable, so you may have to adjust them.
