You can look for social clubs for autistic children in your area.

I would go online and check out events for special needs kids in your area. You may also be able to call a special needs school around you to ask if they have any ideas for outings with other kids like her. You might be able to sign her up for a special needs day camp, or a program that does somewhat regular get togethers. I promise you, she isn’t the only child struggling with friends.

Aww! Teenagers can be so judgmental and mean to peers. I would maybe try to get her involved in community things or youth groups might help,always incourage and lift her up! Good luck to you.
