[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She definitely has something. Maybe it’s autism, maybe Asperger’s, I don’t know. I feel bad for her child. The father isn’t in the picture to give some sense of normalcy too...[/quote] Aspergers is autism. It’s just the one diagnosis. Op, your sister does sound like she has some rigidity—which people with LDs, adhd, autism, or anxiety can have. The not wanting to drive sounds like she has anxiety and difficulty multitasking, which is probably related to her executive functioning skills. At this point, she doesn’t sound like she’s willing to investigate why or how to overcome the driving issue. It’s unreasonable of her to expect you to move overseas for her. There are possible solutions at her disposal, but it’s probably a waste of time to reiterate them. If she keeps asking you, just say, “I love you, but I won’t do this.” Rinse repeat .[/quote]
