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

On a reassuring note, you know your daughter better than anyone else, you are already an expert. My daughter was diagnosed at 19, the day after my own diagnosis. Her mother and myself continued with the methods of dealing with anxiety etc. exactly as we had been doing for the previous 19 years, though we now knew what the difficulties were caused by. Your daughter has been autistic since birth, and she is exactly the same person she has always been no diagnosis can change that.
