[quote=Anonymous]Has she been assessed for autistic by someone with expertise with girls? Depression + sensory issues + social difficulties is so often autism. Having aquaintances is a great first step. How can you help her build them into friendships, one person at a time? Highly structured 1:1 playdates are best. I assume you are working with a psychiatrist for the depression? Do you have an OT for the sensory issues? What has helped my autistic daughter, now in high school, is to really lean in on her special interests. Find ways that she can be with others who love the same things she loves.[/quote]
