Hello,
My daughter aged 18 years has always been isolated and could not make friends with girls.
She is very bright but too direct and confrontional with people when she disagrees.
I do not know how to find someone to teach her to become more sociable, and to make freinds ?
Can you help ?
Thanks

She blames others for being rude and not nice with her..
I am not sure how to talk about her difficulties without stigmatising her..
