Dear Queenie,
My husband’s sister’s daughter does not fit in well in social situations and her friends are all much younger than she is. Her parents are upset about her behaviour but do not know what to do about it.
I’m a health care worker and I think she is not autistic, but might have Asperger’s syndrome and if that is the case she could be treated for it.
Queenie, should I talk to my husband about this?—Worried aunt
Dear Aunt,
By all means talk to your husband about what you suspect – and to your in-laws, if you think they would listen to you rather than to him. Your niece deserves to get all the help she may need.
