I am completely been floored with the prospect my daughter may have aspergers, she will be diagnosed this week or next.
When they say aspergers and on the spectrum what does this term mean. I am totally unknowing of the subject and the little I think I may know, ends in confusion.
She is 14 and a half has very lttle social interaction even though she has two friends, she barely speaks with them. She sees a therapist for social anxiety, but she has jingles she chants to death, like annoying ads.
She has conversatons in her room with two others, but she is the only one in the room.
To me it was like she is rehearsing how she would like her social interactions to be like and practises being in an active social life.
When she was much younger everything she said, the last word would be repeated twice, but much in a whisper, like she was fascinated with the word.
If you told her, the aliens were coming tommorow, she would believe you without a doubt.
She takes everything literally. She is really immature for 14 and half years and will kiss her teddy about 200 times a day, but sometimes less on others and still does the talking for him, cute and sweet once upon a time, but now that I have had aspergers mentioned to me by therapist, not so cute anymore.
I am hoping she only has social anxiety and not both with aspergers on top, not fun to have either. I dont want people treating her any different. They already know she doesnt speak much, and people have stopped trying to be social with her.
As a student with aspergers can you be private about it, or does the whole school system end up finding out and having a label on you.
I really would love some information of the people who understand, are experiencing it.
My husband googles aspergers went through the symptoms and said no, none of this applies to her, and those symptoms were different, worded differently. He is in denial or simply doens want to know. I can understand him wanting to do this, but its not practical .
