I work full time. My daughter has Aspergers. Finding it really difficult to get her to go anywhere without me or her dad. She will be 16 soon. Attends college one day a week but even that is a struggle. Any suggestions

    Hi @gillh, sorry to hear this- it sounds like it must be really difficult on you all. I've moved this post to our ask an ASD advisor to see if they can offer any guidance.

    Hi @gillh
    Have you tried speaking to the National Autistic Society?
