Thanks for the replies. She is definitely open to being evaluated. It's just hard to find someone that I feel comfortable with--diagnosing a female who is older now. She's in college.
Whoever we do end up using, I will definitely bring these sensory issues to his/her attention. |

| I've been reading up on it--mostly online. The same symptoms/traits are mentioned without much elaboration. Let me list some traits I've seen in my child. We have no diagnosis. Yet. At 1st birthday party there were 3 or 4 people there with cameras with flashes and many pictures were taken. After tha... |

Thank you! |

| Chronos, thank you for your input on this. I will absolutely interview the psychologists I'm considering with the questions you shared. I was worried about this when my youngest daughter was being evaluated. I did ask that psychologist about whether she takes female vs male into consideration. Your ... |

| I appreciate the replies. I have located a couple of psychologists in my area who do evaluations for adults. I'm in Alabama. It has taken some time--talking to other parents of ASD kids and emailing one of our state universities that is part of our state's regional autism network. The person who hea... |

| I know how it goes for a child. My youngest was diagnosed last spring. Her evals included academic achievement (Woodcock-Johnson), IQ (WISC-V), receptive language, social/emotional (BASC-3), etc, etc. That psychologist only sees children. I have a 20 year old daughter who needs to be evaluated. The ... |

If she is autistic and more or less able to camouflage, all the other traits and behaviours may be misinterpreted. It happened to me.
If she is not autistic, the possibility will be excluded.
Thank you. That is helpful. |

| It sounds like she may be genetically fated to have both borderline and ASD. You can't ignore the possibility she may have both. That's a frightening thought. I've read up a lot of girls and autism, and it's not uncommon for girls to be diagnosed first with Borderline only to find out later that it... |

| Thanks for the replies. I fully admit to trying to diagnose her on my own. I have had many years experience dealing with mental health professionals myself. They can be all over the place. I'd like to have a good idea of what we're dealing with before I choose who to send her to for an evaluation. I... |

| I have a young daughter (11) who has been diagnosed with Autism, Mild, Requiring Support (Asperger's). Meanwhile, my oldest is 20, has always had sensory issues, terrible anxiety, a whole host of issues mostly resulting in her being a bit of a misfit among her peers. She's in college at a state univ... |
