I’ve had suspicions for a little while now that my 13 year old daughter could have autism. But how can I tell the difference between if she’s just a typical type teenager or not? She has always struggled fitting in with peers, she struggles with school work, she doesn’t always compute things as...

This is a long one, grab a cuppa.... Let me preface this by saying we are 100% supportive of our daughter (15) and have an amazingly close relationship that we treasure beyond belief.
