[quote=Anonymous]Hey there-I am a psych NP and I would be curious about an ADHD or ASD diagnosis for your sister. Cleanliness or "acts of daily living", particularly those that are non-preferred (showering, changing clothes, brushing teeth), etc maybe difficult for her. Additionally, transitions can be hard for people either on the spectrum or with ASD. I have encountered many patients that were diagnosed later in life as ASD and ADHD show up differently than others. I would suggest a full neuropsychological evaluation. The biggest thing...love and acceptance. If you sister is indeed ASD and/or ADHD, you cannot have the same expectations you would for a neurotypical person. She's just not wired the same.[/quote]
