Needing advice with our daughter who was diagnosed she's 16. No very little about autism and feel quite frankly lost for her.

Where do you being.. I need to teach myself and other family members how to work with her to support her needs. We're still waiting to see the Neuro diversity team. Looking for help and assistance.  Many thanks

  • Yes indeed this forum and the NAS resources are a good place to start.  There is a lot of rubbish talked about Autism out there but there are some very good resources too. Tony Atwood's 'Complete guide to Asperger's' (although the term isn't used any more) is a good one to start with.  If your daughter likes reading there are lots of autobiographies written by Autistic women out there which might give her a sense of validation, some of them celebrities; I especially loved Fern Brady's.

    Then well, throw your questions out here...some one will have an answer.  I learned so much from other Autistic people here after I was identified.
