I am looking for any help and advice anyone can give me please. My daughter has Autism she is 14 and is on mainstream school. She has no real communication skills and struggles with making friends, chatting etc. She only has 1 friend and this is what I have the issue with. She has had this friend since primary school and each time a new friend might come into the scene this friend is nasty to them and almost turns them away form her. Over the years we have tried our best to manage it but its getting to the point where I think the friendship is an unhealthy one and I think my daughter needs to break away from her, she is very controlling over my daughter and I believe manipulates her more and more, my daughter is just so upset all the time and I know its getting to her. I am asked the school to arrange a meeting with me but its not the best school and I honestly don’t really know what they can do.
Would anyone of had maybe the same issue at all. Does anyone know if any groups around the Hampshire area that my daughter could start to attend. I honestly have no idea what I can do to help her so any advise or help would be great.
Thank you
