[quote=Anonymous]For your DD: Solo activities like biking, running, swim, tennis, horseback, instrumental music, Lego, etc have been good fits for my ASD level 1 DD. They give her an extracurricular skill set without the pressure of figuring out social cues from NT peer girls. If you’re trying to get her clicked into peer friend groups, Girl Scouts are pretty accepting. Also idk if you’re religious at all but religious youth groups at a house of worship are usually very accepting (assuming the religion fits your family philosophies). Consider asking the school counselor if any other ASD level 1 families might want to connect. If you took her to any PT/OT/ST practice when she was younger, ask if they have small group social skills classes now. If they don’t have a group going now, tell them you’re up for a pairing in the future. The conversation building skills are helpful in those groups when DC is matched with a same level peer. [/quote]
