Teen with sen pregnant

My 17 yo dd is pregnant.
& I don't know how to support her.

She has autism adhd severe social anxiety & is very niavee for her age.

She met the father on line & they have only known each other 2 months.
He too has anxiety & depression.
The relationship already worried me with how intense it got (he would cry when leaving after visiting her etc)

She wants to keep the baby but
Her sensory needs around noise smells, she has repeated episodes of autistic burnout makes me worried.
We will support her as much as we can but
I work & have a toddler as well as 3 other children, so it will be hard & limited.
I've looked online and there seems to be a family nurse service which sounds great but not in our area.

We are planning a conversation with her today which will be a reality check.

Does anyone have any advice or positive stories from teen pregnancies with similar issues

The fact the daughter has some nd is NOT an automatic social services prescription.

SS refused to get involved beyond 1 visit with our family member
Saw a nice house and an involved MC family and washed their hands of the whole situation - they said they weren't needed as the family could obviously cope.
They DID cope but sure as hell didn't want to

@allthingsred just wondered how things are now? Is your dd keeping her baby?
