Hey there SeekerofLight,

I can only give you information that I know. I use to support 2 men in a housing scheme. Both have Asperger's. Both very intelligent but very naive. The elder of the 2 also had Bipolar and he was hard at times to help as his Bipolar and Asperger's would hit off of each other.

I would say try and learn about something that she likes..... ask her Dad if she is unsure. Social situations are hard for her I would persume. Making friends will be hard for her. Is her school not helping her with this?

Does she not see a psych, t etc?

Example.... 1 guy I supported didn't get the point in going to the pub and having a drink. He would stare at you or at the customers which could lead to him being hit by the person being stared at. We worked on glancing and not staring. Explaining why staring is not a good idea. Then we would to make sure he understood ask him when we were out and about why staring is not always a good idea. His Psychiatrist helped too as she would explain about staring and glances and the differences etc.

I know its different with girls and with a teenager at that..... I only have info on adults i'm afraid.
