Hi
I'm new here, so my apologies if this has been discussed before. My teenage daughter is autistic and currently very lonely. The people she meets who share her interests already seem to have established friendship groups, and while they are often friendly, she lacks close friendships. It does not help that we live in a rural area, so there are fewer people for her to meet face-to-face anyway. This has led me to wonder whether there were any 'safe' online communities she could join.
When I joined this group, I did see links to the communities on The Mix. Before I encouraged her to join them and possibly get disappointed, I wondered whether anyone here had opinions of how good they would be for under 16s?
Many thanks to anyone who can help
