[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was diagnosed in college. She had anxiety for a number of years and was in therapy (as well as on meds). She was working with a new therapist who did DBT and CBT and after about 6 months the therapist suggested she get tested. I would say the biggest benefit of her diagnosis is that she feels a sense of peace. She's really leaned in to her diagnosis, which I'm not sure is the best but that's not for me to decide. Looking back there were a few signs she was on the spectrum. She always hated loud noises. But I would say most of the signs didn't appear until middle school. She always had friends in elementary school but as she approached puberty she had more trouble relating to people her own age. I think this is still her biggest issue. She does great with adults, but struggles with her peers. [/quote]
