Hi there, my daughter has Aspergers she is nearly 12 and has told me she's gay. can anyone point me in the direction of any information on this. 

Also anyone with a kid in this age group I could talk to.

    This is difficult for any young person.  My personal advice, which may be wrong. would advise her not to say anything to other children at this stage as it could lead to bullying.  At school you could speak to the SENCO to see if she could get some counselling/ guidance.  CAMHS might also be useful but they are generally very slow to be seen.  I would also keep an eye on self harming over the next few years, 1 in 12 girls self harm so its very common and her profile would suggest this would make her a 'higher-than-normal' risk child in relation to this.  

    I am now tutoring (including online tutoring) ASD pupils.  I have run ASD provisions in a similar role to a SENCO for over 20 years and home schooled my son. [Removed by Moderator due to breaking rules 7 and 2 of the Online Community. More info here: https://community.autism.org.uk/p/rules].
