Neurodiverse Teenage Girls

Postby Coffeandcake » Tue Aug 13, 2019 1:52 pm

Hi - just wondering if there are any neurodiverse teens in the Balham / Wandsworth / Clapham area (around 11-13 so more the "tweenager" age group rather than older) who might be interested in meeting up - so any girls who might be autistic / aspergers or ADHD or just quirky. I am looking to try and expand my daughters social group and would really like for her to be able to meet more girls a bit more like her and who are local. Please do PM me if this is something you might like to explore. These teenage years are hard enough but even harder for those girls who have some social challenges.

Many thanks in advance !

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen somewhere that someone set up a group for this very reason. Might be lavender something? Might be someone connected with NAS Lambeth branch. Provably worth a post in one of the local Facebook groups - ASD Child in SW London or ASD SW London.

I’d be really interested in a meet up. I have an adhd 11 year old daughter who will be starting secondary school in September but who could definitely do with some more “quirky” friends.

Hello

If you haven't already, try Lavender https://m.facebook.com/lavenderndg/ - they run groups and workshops and the Facebook group is a good place to make connections.

There is a local branch of National Autistic Society for Wandsworth - they are quite new and I think just focused on Adults - but that may have changed.

You could also look at A2NdVoice based in tooting - it’s run by Venessa Bobb who has done a lot of work focusing on BAME issues but she also focuses on issues for AS girls/teens/women and is very well informed.

Facebook SEN fun London is worth a look.  Also has links to other groups which may be more appropriate for early teens like your girl. 

I too have a child diagnosed with autism. He is six but gets along with a very diverse range of ages  and abilities and is very social but has no siblings.  The most obvious issue he has is speech delay.   I would love him to have more playdates.   We have toys, a trampoline, an inflatable pool in the garden but what he loves most of all is the company of other children while mums / dads / carers have a cuppa.  👱 👧 👦 👩  

Please do get in touch anyone reading and wanting to team up.

Re: Neurodiverse Teenage Girls - Meet ups

Postby KatherineHepburn » Mon Nov 20, 2023 10:49 am

Hi there,
I'm just dropping into this older post to see if any of you found any great ASD meet ups for teenage girls in the area.

My daughter is 14 and would love to meet other girls of her age who are also high-functioning neurodivergent. Sadly she is the only girl in her year at school so is feeling a bit lonely.

TIA

Hi Asd123, 

Maybe if there are no local groups we can just see who wants to join in and create something ourselves?

Anyone else? 

ASD / ADHD teenage girls who need other quirky, kind friends?

I am setting up a group for autistic girls of primary school age with support from NAS.

A playful, calm setting where autistic girls can meet kindred spirits and have some fun.

Once we’re fully operational (we’re still at set up stage with training, insurance etc etc) we could look at widening the upper age range.

If that’s of interest do email me at camillaslmiller@gmail.com and I can keep you in the loop. In the meantime look out for The Autistic Girls Club Wandsworth :)

(I’m also on the hunt for a Treasurer. Shout if that’s you or you know anyone)
