[quote=Anonymous]DD diagnosed 2e ADHD age 9, ASD age 11. Main symptoms were meltdowns and cognitive rigidity. Also very bright, always very social, even popular as a young kid because they were fun, but also very non conforming. The social angle caused all the teachers to say she was not autistic. Middle school got along much better with boys than girls, I think because the boy social scene was simpler and more direct and the boys were less mature. Still social and non conforming at age 15. Not conventionally popular but has friends (boys, girls, non binary) most of whom are "quirky" in one way or another. Works well at a summer job that allows for independence and excels at school when she tries but doesn't always try. Hates group work. Occasionally has shutdowns and burnout and just needs to retreat from the world. Getting better at rigidity but room to grow.[/quote]
