Well we have been hitting dead ends all over the place with this. Most pshycologists have been sending us to others. And our hospital wont even bother seeing us because her family dr is not with them. Which I changed my mind with even considering them anyways because of a few red flags. Like they said it was found in children and mostly there solution is more drug related then not. The person that we was recommend to that is at the hospital doesnt even work there anymore. Makes me wander why.

I am just blown away how limited peoples minds are with this. Its like there is no room for growth to even understand it when people are like that. I really feel bad for you all in a way just with the little bit of time I have been on here. Wow! Us NT's can be really stupid for real. I know that not every NT is like this though so please dont hate me.

Anyways we have decided to approach this on our own. She has taken all of the tests now and has scored high on all of them but one. The one she didnt score high on I guess is not that accurate anyways. I know that it does not mean she has aspergers or any autism but all signs point to it, even before the tests. They're a lot of facts that we know now that lean this way. She is 26 years old now and still struggles with this even now. I can understand now why it was missed as she was growing up. They just thought she was weird, and that she needed to grow up. I still hear that even now from her mom and sister at times.

So now our journey begins. I would like your guys input on some good books that we can start with to help us. I look foward taking this journey with her and this awesome community. I Hope she can come out of her shell a little and make a few friends on here. Shes already told me she can relate to you guys =D

Thanks for everything!
