ND yr11 failing GSCEs and am worried about future

Our daughter is autistic but until high school always ‘managed’ and was educationally doing well- but since y9 she has gone down and down. We have just had her predicted grades from end of y10 work and I am now so worried about what on earth she is going to manage to do in the future. She barely leaves her room and has massive social anxiety although she does take part in an activity once a week.
I just have no idea if she’ll make it in to 6th form and if not what she will do after, and I have no idea how to support her to achieve anything that she wants.
She is such a bright girl who just cannot cope in the school environment- she has subjects she really excel at but probably not enough.
I just am so worried.
Can anyone who has been through this give me any advice?
posting this in the education group too
Thanks

Does DD have an EHCP? If not, you should request an EHCNA. IPSEA has a model letter on their website you can use.

When you say DD barely leaves her room, do you mean including school or other than school? If including school, since DD can’t attend school full-time, is the LA providing alternative arrangements to ensure DD receives a suitable full-time education?

Really feel for you @HewittMurray. My DD is awaiting assessment and is a year older. We're currently waiting to see what her results are although I suspect from the amount she revised, they won't be great.

We do have an ASD school nearby but she can't go to their Sixth Form as she's jut yet diagnosed.
