[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sad that my friendly, bubbly 6yo with MERLD can't make friends. She is such a sweetheart and wants friends so badly, but she just can't talk to the other girls at their level. Most are nice to her or at least civil, but of course some of the more advanced kids treat her like a moron. She perceives their condescension and knows they're being mean, even if she can't articulate exactly why. It's so painful to see. She hasn't been asked to a birthday party or playdate all year at her new school. Parents of older MERLD kids - does it ever get better? Did anything help? The more nervous she gets around other kids the more she talks below her level, so it's sort of a vicious cycle. Though even at her best she's still well below her peers.[/quote]
