Hiya Green,

My daughter (now a teenager) was diagnosed with Aspergers 3 years ago and it was after many years of going through the the usual alphabet soup: ADHD, ADD, ODD... It seems to be much more difficult to diagnose girls with ASD than boys because boys tend to be more obvious with their symptoms, and personally as a mom I think we impose different expectations on our daughters.

I'm a bit confused, you have symptoms but not Aspergers? I thought it was a spectrum? Is there a group near you that may have support to explore you possibly having more tests? We found a Aspy teen group in our town and its been quite a relief for my girl. Some of the kids in the group have no formal diagnosis but still come and hang out, read from the extensive library and just enjoy not being judged for their little quirks. Good luck in your search, big hugs.
