She used to be a very confident girl, still does well at school but lack of self esteem and confidence now. She is afraid of driving, avoiding sports, social gatherings and not successful finding a part time job. She is beautiful, her avg it 80 at the top University in Canada. She recently develops very hot temper, very easy to get blow out - yelling, shouting, crying, very mad. She said she hates me and my wife, hates to be born at first place. My wife and I actually treat her very well - living at home, paying her tuitions, laptop, pockect money and all she needded. I don't know what happen to her. She is in her last year at University taking B-com, no job offer, no intention to look for a job. What's wrong with her? Is she developing ADULT AUTISM? What shall I do?

Clearly she is not developing Autism - Autism is not something you can develop!
She's probably just nervous or depressed not helped by you fussing.

I don't think one can develop Autism in adulthood. You and your wife treat her nicely with money, computer, etc., but do you give her love and emotional support?
Sometimes when women have these severe changes in behavior it is due to an event that has affected them, perhaps a sexual assault or something of that nature. You need to try to find out what is going on by communicating with her. Seeing a family therapist is a good place to start. You could go as a group and let the therapist know what's going on, then perhaps the therapist can get to the bottom of things one-on-one with your daughter. Good luck.

First of all, it is NOT autism. Austism is completely different, and it is noticed in childhood. Your daughter is most likely under tons of stress during her last year at college. It is a busy, stressful time for her. Talk to her about it and perhaps consider having her see a therapist to help her with stress or any other problems that need to be addressed.

Not Autism. Sounds like she's developed a social anxiety disorder and is probably suffering from situational depression. Try to be non-judgemental and ask her to speak with her physician. Also, monitor her closely as there is an increased risk of suicide from what you described.

she is clearly expressing emotions!!! very very clearly! she is telling you something is wrong! be patient and love her for what she is. something is clearly upseting her and she feels there is no way out talk to her instead of us but realise that it may take a long time for you to find out what is happening the stress of uni and trying to find a job is horific remember this and try not to pressurise her as this will push her to point break! try experiencing activities with her that do not involve the stress factors in her life like the uni and pressure of having to go it n her own in the world and you may find that she relaxes try taking her shopping or to a place of natual beauty she really needs some time to relax!

She could have the panic syndrome. You should consult a therapist/psychoanalyst.
