Hey there @tsi and welcome to the community. 

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. Not wanting to leave the house seems fairly common amongst autistic teens and even neurotypical teens.  Does she have any special hobbies that could get her out of the house?  Maybe some groups based on the hobbies?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.... all she wants to do is watch her favorite youtube videos using her father's fone.

No problem @tsi always happy to try and help.

So we don't know a huge amount about her.  Is she in education currently? Are you receiving support from a GP, therapist or support worker at all?
