I think my sister is autistic...

Shes 13 hand has no friends, she hates kids her own age but people in their 20's or 30's. She is extreamly intelligent and can draw amazingly. She is really talented and has obsessions with things like Primeval and Friends. Now shes onto Family Guy and Scrubs. She hates men and boys in genral and won't talk to any male member of the family. She had a panic attack today because she had a hair cut (she never has them) and thought she would get picked on for looking different. All over her door are these drawings and sayings like "I don't want money I want change" and "I'm beautiful on the inside", my mum works with autistic people and won't get her help even though she knows whats up. My dad is a mental health nurse and says my mum won't help because she has a disorder that I will know about when I'm older, she wants to keep my sister close to her like a baby but wants me to be away and grown up because I remind her of my dad, who she hates, and thinks I am him basically...

What do I do? How do I help my sister? I'm only 15.

They are divorced... that isn't the problem, I still talk to my dad even though I don;t live with him, again, I can't live with him but THAT isn't the issue!!!!!! I can't talk to my mum, don't you get it?

oh wow... i hope you arent rachel. (my sister). This sounds just like me =[  and no she isnt autistic... if she is as simmilar to me as u make it sound like shes just a bit off. (What,. im not afraid to admit im a tad off). BUT i also know what YOU mean. My mom seems to hate me cuz im "like my dad" w/e that is. I dont even know how. AND she babys my sister... like she is idk. ANYWAY id talk to your dad. I mean... id hate to confront my mom =\ but i know as i wouldnt want to talk to my dad i would if i needed to. Your sister sounds like she is just a loner. at 13 i was just like her, but now im your age, and i have grown someowhat out of it  to my brothers surprise!

its hard for people to get it if they arent in the situation. getting angry at people on here isnt helping. so find another adult you can trust like one in your school or someone involved in medicine, they should be able to help you. just be there for your sister and be strong

She doesnt seem to have autisum.
I work with special education at school and my brother has autisum.

She seems to be just socially akward. Maybe she has aspergers{sorry for bad spelling!}, from what you say it seems like that.

If you dont know what that is, it basically the highest functioning form of autisum, just with some core issues of socialising and learning.

Yeah, there could be a possibility of them having Asperger maybe but I think a psychologist would be able to determined that better than us though. And, encase people don't know this already Not everyone that goes to a psychologist is considered to insane.
