It sounds odd but on Instagram, there’s a hashtag #actuallyautistic that has many people with autism talk openly and spread acceptance and awareness. There’s some really good information from various autistic advocates including young women! that may be useful for you and your daughter….

Me and my sister are autistic, she’s 21 I’m 26. Although my mum didn’t know what do to initially she learned a lot about by listening to professionals, other autistic people and reading.

There may be some local parent support groups online and I don’t know if this is still current but National Autistic society have responded to emails before, it’s takes a while but have sent some useful links for me before. X

Hi Prawn, I was diagnosed with autism a couple of days before my 20th birthday. If you have any questions in relation to your daughter, send me a message and I'd be more than happy to answer your questions to the best of my ability! 😊
