[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been friends with someone for a long time. I know her kids well. Her teen dd has had a lot of problems over the years and I feel like all signs point to her being on the spectrum. I know you’ll say “the parents know, don’t butt in” but my friend tells me a lot of what’s going on and is constantly puzzled at why her dd is the way she is. The problem is that my friend is very very sensitive, so I worry that implying this or suggesting she get it checked out would throw her and it won’t bode well for her personal mental health. I also worry it could affect our friendship, but I would take that bullet if it would help the dd and the family. I’ve thought this for a few years now and I’ve not said anything. But recently more came up and I thought of it again.

The family is generally wary of mental health professionals, so this is a road block for all of them.

I don’t want to post specifically what I see in case my friend is on here, but they are pretty textbook. Has anyone navigated something like this? [/quote]
