Hi @isabel1, would you be comfortable disclosing your daughter's location so I can do a bit of searching for you?

Thanks for sharing this @isabel1, it's clear that you really do have your daughter's best interests at heart, and I really hope you can find the support she needs.
I've just been looking at local befriending services and these search results might be a good place for you to start: obviously not all will be suitable (many are geared towards older people), but there could be some promising ones too. These accessible events might also be of interest, and there's some social groups based in Manchester here too, which might be another option.
It sounds like you're dealing with a lot at the moment- are you getting any support as a carer? Carers UK have a wonderful information and support line if you ever feel like you need some additional support or you need to talk to somebody. Really hope this helps, and all the best!
