Lonely

find her common interests she may share with others and start there. We are not natural joiners of things but a common interest will go a long way towards making her feel at home with others.. SCi fi? com-icon? Barbie? Disney? Find that special interest and go from there.

Hi,

I was isolated for over 20 years, but was referred to an organization called Creative Support by my local community mental health team.

Creative Support provided me with a support worker and access to the social inclusion groups that they run and after a while of attending these groups with my support worker, my anxiety was massively reduced and I even made a few friends there.

Perhaps there is a similar organisation where you are that could provide your daughter with a support worker?

As others have mentioned this forum is full of great people, can't believe I forgot about this place for 2 years.

Hi and welcome to the community.

You and/or your daughter might find the advice in these NAS articles helpful:

NAS - Loneliness

NAS - Making Friends - Guides for autistic people, parents and carers, on making friends and socialising

Perhaps she might also like to join this community? We're a friendly bunch :)

I'd advise her to contact Mark on here. Does she live in Scotland?

I'm extremely isolated and would love to make new friends too. 1 of my other (online) friends is 28 aswell.

Yeah I've only been actively using this space for a few weeks and I've already met some very friendly people, both male and female. And plenty of people who themselves are looking for friendships.

Ok Thankyou 

I think she'd benefit from posting on here herself so she can connect with people.
