Hi everyone, new here as 12 year old daughter has just recently been diagnosed. Diagnosed autism but traits are asperger's. Just starting out looking for information and tips and people to connect with and any support groups etc.

It is usually all under the umbrella diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition/Disorder (ASC/ASD) these days. You should be able to get accommodations from your daughter's school, so that she is not discriminated against relative to her peers.
