    Ah, reminds me of myself! I was diagnosed as autistic and came out as a lesbian both when I was 12. In terms of info, PFLAG has some good resources on when children come out. I'd also say that a good general guide is to support her no matter whether you "believe" that she's gay or not- maybe that label will change, maybe it won't, but what she'll remember is that you supported her through it.
