How to Make Friends (Safely) – Autism Support in Campbelltown

Advice For Girls With Autism In Campbelltown On Forming Friendships While Staying Safe And Setting Boundaries.


Friendships help autistic girls feel included and understood. But sometimes, trust happens too quickly. In Campbelltown, you can help your child learn to build safe friendships that feel real - not forced.

Why Friendships Feel Tricky

Girls on the spectrum often try very hard to fit in. They may copy what others do or say. This masking takes energy and can hide true feelings.


Some girls cannot spot when someone is unkind. They may feel stuck in bad friendships because they fear being alone.

Signs Your Child Needs Help With Safety

These signs show it may be time to teach clear trust steps


You might see:


  • Sharing secrets with people they hardly know.
  • Doing things they do not enjoy to keep a friend.
  • Worry about saying “no”.
  • Meltdowns after group outings.

Steps To Make Friendships Safe

Talk About Good And Bad Friends

Role-play saying “no” or walking away. Show that it is okay to stop being friends with someone mean.


Use simple words:


  • Good friends share and listen.
  • Good friends do not lie or push you.
  • You can say “no” when you feel unsure.


Use Small, Trusted Meetups

Keep meetups short - half an hour is enough to start. Always end on a good note so your child feels brave to try again.


Short playdates work best. Try:


  • One or two trusted children.
  • Calm spots like a local park or library.
  • Shared hobbies like art, pets or games.

Local Places That Feel Calm

Campbelltown has many quiet spots for gentle social practice. Small parks, libraries, or trusted cafés help keep things calm. Many schools run small friendship groups too.



Ask other local families which groups feel safe. Some youth centres offer social programs for autistic children.

NDIS Supports To Use

A local coordinator can help find trusted Campbelltown providers.


What Your Plan May Cover

NDIS funding can help your child build safe social skills. This might include:


  • Social skills programs that focus on safety rules.
  • Speech therapy for talking practice.
  • Support workers for outings.
  • Parent training to spot when things feel unsafe.

Everyday Tips To Protect Trust


Remind your child that secrets that feel wrong should be told to you. Safe friends do not ask them to hide things that feel bad.


  • Keep visits short and simple.
  • Watch for signs your child feels stressed.
  • Praise them for saying what they want.
  • Check in after to hear how they felt.
