From the limited info in the OP, how have you got to possible autism?
because high function female autism is very under diagnosed, so often goes unnoticed, and the girl ends up with other labels,
Completely disrespectful to entire family. Will not speak to myself, her dad, sisters or even little brother
give up on communication and frustrated with family members.
Refuses to help out or follow family rules, will not clean. Absolutely will not participate in family events
refusal to engage,.
Will blow up, get emotional (almost theatrical) if challenged. This is not the half of it
over reaction to challenge,.
First, I thought maybe she is depressed, tried to talk, she was always angry about one thing or another
endless frustration,
, Never open to any type of problem solving
set in stone
..But as I have had time to think about it, i realised she began being resentful around the time she was told that although we would scrape up the tuition and housing, she would have to work over the summer so she could earn extra money for school (pocket money, books)
none adapting to change.
Everyone acknowledges that she is an extremely brighted, gift person but even other family members (i.e. grandmother and grandfather) have told me in confidence that they find her extremely difficult
.so she bright but can't work out that her behaviour hurt her,
She says she doesn't want anything from us (except food, board, her tuition, housing fee and of course a plane ticket back to uni) and that she is not coming back next summer
detached,
. Would it be mean to give her a one-way ticket?
you do what works for you,
I asked as was interested, because I thought it sounded like one unhappy person, and there is often a reason, and I wondered as some of those description rang bells,
people often don't understand about the full range of autism, and high functioning often presents differently in women, a lot get diagnosed much later in life, when they start to find things difficult.
