Has my DD got Aspergers?

[Spangles1963]

DD has just turned 34. She told me that last week,one of her work collegues asked if she had Aspergers. My DD was slightly taken aback as it had never even entered her head. Her colleague said that she had a lot of the same traits as her sister,who has it. Can any of you wise MNers in the know about Aspergers enlighten me? I am really curious now.

I have been diagnosed recently. I always thought of myself as very empathetic. After doing the empathy test, turns out I'm really not. This seemed to be very common in aspergers groups I'm in, people thinking they were empathetic but weren't really.

No one can say here whether your DD has aspergers. I also know that nothing has ever been picked up about me as a child and it's only as an adult that I have realised the difficulties that I face, mine relate to social issues.
