[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"This is also in part, a socialization problem among her peers. She tells us stories of what happened during the day and a lot of what she tells me involves her saying/doing things that are very cringe, and/or kids being unkind to her, which I believe is because she’s socially off. I think she tries hard to fit in and she’s sad that kids treat her poorly."

This part happens to my DD over and over again. My DD is definitely not autistic, she gets social cues (but maybe a bit inattentive ADHD). DH and I've tried for years to help her fit in better and it hasn't worked, so we think it's a combo of the other kids + my DD being the youngest in her grade with a late August birthday (last one is big, we really regret not holding her back). DD just wants to mother all the other kids and boss them around, but doesn't see why others don't like that. Her younger siblings hate it too. She also wants to tattle nonstop and can't understand why other kids are out of control and not following the rules. Sigh. We are trying to work on it at home a lot too, but I think it's just innate.

So long story short, it just might be your DD's personality.[/quote]

How do you work on it at home?  Do you find certain approaches being more successful (even if marginally) than others?  I’m at my wit’s end and would appreciate any advice.[/quote]
