Hi, my name is ernie64! Any advice on how to help my autistic daughter?
our daughter is 22 she was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 14 she receives the lowest level of PiP, she receives 1 hour a week support other than that she stays in her bedroom with her 3 rabbits as they are her only friends, she cannot go out on her own as she suffers with anxiety there isn’t help out there as we’ve never stopped trying if anyone can offer advice it would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Hi @ernie64, welcome to the community. What kind of advice are you looking for for your daughter? Is she getting mental health support at the moment, or is it something else?
Is there anything that she would like to achieve if she could get the right support in place?
It can be really difficult to find services that can help these days, but I hope our community might have some suggestions for you both to try.
