Hi, my name is Ash80!

New here, have a 14 year old, who was diagnosed with ASD last year (as we had reached crisis point).
Looking for advice from the super members here, Daughter suffers from chronic boredom & isolation. (Has no friends), and looking for some Girls Groups/clubs/workshops for her.

Thanks..
I used to volunteer with the Girl Guides as a trainee leader and they were brilliant with accommodating all girls different needs and personalities, so that could be worth exploring. For more information on groups in your area, visit the Girlguiding website.
The National Autistic Society also has a service directory where you can find support for adolescents across the UK.
We could also help find her something more interest-specific if you let us know what hobbies she has and what she likes doing. It must be tough for her being bored but we will get there.

Unfortunately nothing around our area...so still struggling to find something relevant for my daughter, such a struggle,
Thanks,

It's also worth bearing in mind that many activities are taking place digitally and remotely at the moment. Although this means your daughter wouldn't be interacting with people face to face, it could open up more opportunities for her as your location would no longer be an issue. For example, I know lots of people have been doing virtual choirs over video call. Is that something that might interest her?
