[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 649668, member: 17635"] Heart, My daughter is a psychological examiner and responded with this when I asked her if she had anything to offer as far as your son looking into possibility of autism. I did not give her much info to go on. From your latest post, sounds like he needs to talk to a therapist ASAP. ********** There are still IEPs for college, but that's rare and more difficult. I'm going to guess that if he's made it this far in life, that diagnosis should not accurately fit him. I'd do what the mom suggests, then. Go the the counselor, but not in search of a diagnosis. He should go to address what specific issues he feels are hindering him in life. If the counselor sees an autism spectrum disorder, they can follow the proper channels from there. But being diagnosed this late in life is super rare and not likely. ********** [/QUOTE]
