How to handle DD's relationship

DD 15 (ADHD traits) has been seeing someone for about 6 months, not that regularly but at times they text a lot. What concerns me is that When the other person cant call or meet up my DD has admitted herself that she gets annoyed & upset for the rest of the day, week even e.g. if they say have to much work to do, my DD admits herself she'll keep on texting pls, nooo dont go.
In the past she has got into arguments with friends via texting, she's quite impulsive. The person she is in a relationship with has autism, so I feel like they are both quite vulnerable. My DD & I chat about the relationship but now I'm starting to feel like this isn't a very healthy relationship and wondering whether I should intervene or even speak to the other parents, as I would be concerned, but is that too interfering, I wouldn't do it behind her back though?

I would speak to the parents simply because as you say, both are vulnerable. Say you're aware of DD sometimes being too full on and that you're watching and trying to work with her. Ask them their thoughts on the relationship too.
