[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 686215, member: 11791"] At 19.5 years old... I feel for you. Yes, some of our higher-functioning kids are at the short end of the stick in getting a diagnosis, because they can sort of hold things together long enough to look good on paper - WE have to live with them and THEY have to live in the real world, and missed diagnoses don't help! Yes, maturity is a factor. It's a major factor for neuro-typical young males. Just not quite as major as for kids with developmental issues. And yes, maturity helps. But it is NOT a cure. There is no cure. He may be dealing with more than "just" autism spectrum challenges. He could very well be bi-polar [I]as well[/I]. Getting help for the "cycling" really helps. [/QUOTE]
