[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 731504, member: 1550"] Look into it. Autistic people, especially girls are often missed. My son has it and it took 11 years to get him diagnosed right. I was told he was bipolar! He is not! I took him to a neuropsycologist (a psychologist with extra training in the brain) and he was tested for ten hours and finally diagnosed right. He is 24 now and on his own with some community services. He has come FAR since his diagnosis. He works. He can socialize betterr. You have nothing to lose by having her evaluated for this. I would definitely use a neuropsychologist though. Many psychiatrists don't diagnose autism right. You can find neuropsychologists in University clinics and children's hospitals. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
