    Hi,

    Been looking at what services we list in the Glasgow area and there's clearly a lack of really comprehensive social support for teenagers who need services to help develop social skills and make friends.

    There are social groups in Glasgow aimed at people aged 16+ and befriending services. It may be worth speaking to them and seeing what is available and if they have ideas about what could be on offer.

    You can search for services in our directory at this address - 

    http://www.autism.org.uk/directory

    I can share a search result sadly, due to the way the system works, but seemed to find the most leads by looking in services > play and lesiure. 

    Hope that can help
