[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter was diagnosed later -- freshman year of HS and I have very mixed feelings about it.  In some ways it was good to know, but in other ways I think it just created a label.  She has depression, OCD, anxiety, and HFA.  She's been in therapy since her freshman year -- she's now 22, almost 23 and is a college graduate.  They never really knew how to help her.  She had friends in high school and friends in college.  A small group, but they were always supportive.  She's never had a boyfriend, she would desperately love a boyfriend, but it hasn't worked out so far.  She dates, but it is through dating apps.  Personally I think her awkwardness is worse now in her 20's than it's been at any other time.  I'm not sure how much of that is HFA and how much of it is COVID related (she graduated HS in 2020 and then her freshman year of college was in quarantine).  She's looking for a job, but no luck.  She worked a little in college, but did not do an internship.  We honestly struggle with how to help/support her.  She is currently living at home.[/quote]
