Joanna Fortune: My teenage daughter does not want to accept her Asperger's diagnosis 

Just because we make help and support available does not mean we can control how or even if someone we love will avail of it

My 17-year-old (nearly 18 years) daughter has Asperger’s. However, she will not accept the diagnosis she has known since she was eight years old

CHILD PSYCHOTHERAPIST

My 17-year-old (nearly 18 years) daughter has Asperger’s. However, she will not accept the diagnosis she has known since she was eight years old. I brought her to an excellent psychologist but she would not participate. Is there anything I can do to help her?
