Help with still not diagnosed daughter with Asperger's

Hello everyone. ☺️I will be grateful if you can give me some advice how to help my daughter, 18. She is on her way to be diagnosed for Autism, I am sure it is Asperger's as she shows many behaviours associated with the condition. She cannot sleep at night, gets overwhelmed by people (even missed Christmas Eve 's and New Year's Eve dinners as she didn't want to communicate with us). She is up and down, either excited about her future and making plans or staying all day in bed depressed and unable to do anything . She is quite clever and capable to study but it just takes her ages and lots of willpower to get started. She is in her second year at college.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Careful. It's best to avoid labels, especially since it gets you nothing in terms of medical support (at least in America) and it hurts you in terms of stigma.

Yes, I agree but you have to be diagnosed to get help (at exams for example, therapies and so on).
