[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to this thread. I wish they had more support groups too.

My DD was overlooked too. It’s been a rough few years as the diagnosis keep changing. There are a lot of missed symptoms for ADHD and autism and the Venn diagram is so wide in the middle it’s hard to differentiate. Throw in personality disorders symptoms and anxiety and it’s extremely hard to diagnose teen girls. Highly intelligent but want to fit in, there is so much masking.  But inside? Their minds. They never feel right or in control. I wish there were more professionals focused on girls and yes therapy groups and even specialized PHP and support.

I see parts of my daughter in every post here

I completely agree. My stubborn dd probably wouldn't want to participate in a support group but I want to be a part of a support group for parents of late diagnosed AuDHD daughters. The teenage years are tough, parsing out what is normal for their development as autonomous beings and what are ASD related idiosyncracies.[/quote]
