[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 686814, member: 11791"] It can show up at any point. Some don't get a diagnosis until they have kids of their own, just struggle along somehow with no supports. It doesn't need to be this way. Puberty + male = trouble. Add in either developmental challenges or mental health issues, and it's explosive. Age 14 is when things "blew up" here, and finally we started getting slivers of appropriate resources. I knew before he went to school that he had challenges. I saw some of those in the early grades, the teachers didn't agree. It's been a fight every inch of the way, and even now (he is an adult), I'm always looking for ways to bridge gaps, find resources... Yes, they are now seeing him as being on the spectrum. Probably correct - but keep in mind that it may still not be the only diagnosis. It's not unusual to be on the spectrum and also have a mental health challenge. [/QUOTE]
