[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 759055, member: 23706"] Female Asperger's is different than males. You really need a neuropsychologist to diagnose it. You can have high functioning autism and still have friends, although if she is a social butterfly and loves lots of crowds and parties then she probably doesn't have it. My nephew is in college.now, something we never dreamed possible before his diagnosis and treatment. He lives in a dorm but comes home weekends. He does not have meltdowns anymore but is not easy to get along with. He gets very upset very easily. That can cause some physical fighting. It even happened at college. If he does it again he has to live at home. I think exploring the reason for her behavior with top notch professional diagnosticians is important. I prefer neuropsychologists. Again, take care of yourself and make sure you want this. You will be the outsider. She has a mom, dad and grands. It works sometimes but is hard to be the step under the best circumstances. I have a few siblings in step situations and blended families. Both families struggle but are still together. It is not easy though. Lots of drama. Please get therapy before getting married. It can't hurt. Your peace of mind and happiness matter as much as theirs. More prayers and hugs. Update us please. [/QUOTE]
