My 16yr old child has an intellectual impariment. She has characteristic of ASD although I have not taken her to be tested/diagnosed. She has mild speech dyspraxia. She has an imaginary friend that she talks to. When she talks back (as the imaginary friend) her speech is perfect. Should I be worried?

Is ASD anti-social disorder or is it something else?

I don't think there's a need for me to tell you that the behavior qualifies as being abnormal. I'm not a parent, however, has she seen a psychologist, psychiatrist or neuropsychologist for this? The longer you wait, generally, the harder it will be to treat or manage.
