[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is 37. 
In school, she was popular but quiet and sensitive. An average student but very good at reading and spelling.
Never had a problem making friends and always had someone back to the house.
When she reached college age though, things changed. Struggled a lot with the new environment and was described as terribly shy. Managed to pass the course but only just. As the years have gone on, she's never been in a relationship or dated. Never moved out of home and now has no friends.
She has 2 chronic health issues, rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis, looks years younger than her age and speaks with an odd accent. She is obsessed with our pet dog and speaks about him constantly.
She works at a daycare but only as temp staff as she struggles with the long days. She is loved by the staff and kids but because she looks so young she feels they only like her because they think she is is a kid.
She gets embarrassed very easily, struggles a lot with chatting socially and has no social life outside of hanging out with her 3 older sisters.
I can't help but feel she may be autistic? However, She understands social cues very easily, very kind and empathetic towards others and has a great imagination (she writes too). 
Just wondered what everyone thinks. Do want to add that she is great around the house, not one of those layabout adult kids because I know that's what everyone will assume.

She could be autistic. My DD was diagnosed as a teen and has an amazing imagination. It could also be social anxiety. But either way she needs help to live her most fulfilling life. I recommend Social Grace in Arlington for coaching. She really needs to start putting herself out there. https://socialgracellc.com/about[/quote]
