Sister has Aspergers at 22

Steve21

Hi I am new to this forum and hoping that it can help me and my sister. 

My sister is 22 and has recently been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. She has no friends and is very isolated. Basically I just want to know has anyone else got a family member with this form of Autism that is of a similar age?

I'm really interested to know what are the achievable goals for her in the future e.g jobs, friends, hobbies etc. 

She has started to attend a support group but as she never talks to me & my mum we don't know how that is going. 

I just want her to live some kind of fulfilling life. I feel she is wasting her youth. I also worry about her future financially. 

Any replies would be great. Thanks.

  • Hi thanks for the reply. Funnily enough my sister is studying accountancy so sounds like that could be a good career choice for her. So you're saying we should just leave her to it and be there if she needs us? You sound like you have a very happy life which I hope my sister can have 1 day too. 

    Thanks again

    p.s I will look into defense mode thanks
