My sister is 14 and yestersay she told me that she believes she has some sort of psycological syndrome named Asbergers. Now, this girl is a very creative person with a very large vocabulary and writes exceptionnally well. She says this is attributes of the syndrome.
Then she said she had problems focusing at school:having delays when she is told to so something. She says its hard for her to make friends because she cant stop talking about her self in the conversation and she cant interpret their gestures or emotions. She says she cant focus on anything too much.
My family feels like she is overreacting her entire problem..but she keeps insisting on seeing a doctor. But I know all that doctor is going to do is put her on meds, and I would never let that happen, because I have seen others take pills for their "syndromes"and they only get worse(side effects??)
Next week monday is the first day of her freshman year of high school and my senior year of high school. I want to make her as comfortable and try to show her she can succeed without resorting to therapy.
We dont have the money to get a therapist. And I feel she is blowing it out of proportion because she couldnt focus then how did she pass the 8th grade. She says people call her wierd b/c she tends to say random things....She says she doesnt look people in the eye,but I dont understand how she can look her family members in the eyes(so why not other people?)
Right now,she is angry.
