I have a 13 year old daughter with ASD. She would love to make new friends but finds it very difficult, especially now she's a teenager. I'm also feeling isolated as although I know people with boys on the spectrum, they tend to present with very different issues to girls.


I was wondering if there were any other parents in the area who are in a similar situation. We could meet up informally for a coffee to start with and perhaps manufacture some social situations for our daughters!


Please PM me if you're interested

Hello Alienmum, this is probably the same group hpsaucey mentioned, but Burgess Autistic Trust have a social group for girls, on Wednesday evenings this term I think. My now 17 year old daughter thought about going last year but decided against it as the other girls were young teens - but that might suit your daughter well...Is there anything for her at school? My daughter is setting up a group for girls with social anxiety at her school, and the school have been really receptive and supportive of the idea.

    • Hi Does anyone have an electric keyboard they are looking to get rid of. It needs to be able to plug into the computer via USB connection, so she can do her composition for GCSE music. Thanks
    • Thanks TWB! I’m actually looking for an unwanted/unused small scratcher at the moment. Ideally something similar to the below
    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.
