So this has probably been posted numerous times,but I'm looking for advice.
My daughter is 17, diagnosed 2 years ago. She has Turners Syndrome alongside ASD. She has multiple problems regarding friendships, she has little to no peer support outside of 6th form but she does have one friend who she's been close to for a couple of years.
My daughter face times this girl first thing on a morning and also on an evening. If the girl in question is busy, my daughter will ...wait.. and just watch her phone waiting for this person to be available. If the girl is online,but not responsive, my daughter will become upset and angry. I've had the 'people are sometimes just busy' chat with her hundreds of times and each time she agrees that she understands. But then gets upset again almost immediately. My daughter has no other friends and isn't interested in going out or socialising with anyone other than her friend. She tells me she hates her life and just wants friends to talk to but then refuses to engage with anyone that isn't this one particular person. I'm watching her mental health rapidly decline and I'm at a loss as to what to do to help her. She won't listen to me about having set times to contact her friend, refuses to relinquish her phone and engage in any other activities with me and has refused to consider joining any sort of clubs or youth clubs where she might make other friends.
My daughter is so depressed and I don't know what to do to help her :(
