Autistic 12yr old girl disrupting family life

My 12yr old daughter has ASD / ADHD and sensory issues. Her ADHD doesn't pose many problems, however Autism seams to be getting worse and is really making family life miserable.

She has no interest in doing anything except being at home on technology. refuses to go out on family days and even if we do go out she makes the day so difficult, is argumentative with us all and dampens everyones mood. unless its something she wants to do, you can't reason with her.

She has a significant medical condition too which makes it difficult for her to socialise with friends (the very few she has) independently. They're all going out and shes not invited to a lot which really upsets her.

We have an elder 15yr old daughter who is also feeling the strain and longs for a sister she can 'do things with'

I could go on and on...but any help / advice would be appreciated as we have no other family support and i'm at my wits end with it all Pensive
