Diagnosed With Asperger
My 21 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Asperger. She sleeps about 15-18 hours a day. I know people with Aspergers are known to have obsessions. Could sleep be her obsession? If so, how do I get help? We have tried sleep clinics and multiple physicians and no one has been able to help us. She is constantly tired and has had to quit her job and school. I am so depressed because we can t seem to get help. I am a single parent and between myself and my mom, it is wearing us out and we are getting nowhere. Please help.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
At 21 years of age, we can not diagnose a patient with asperger disease. Asperger disease is a pervasive developmental disorder and it occur since childhood. I think, she has underline depression, so better to consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
