[quote=Anonymous]DD is not diagnosed ASD but definitely dances to the beat of her own drum and is lost in most social situations. We love her uniqueness. The issue is her behavior and style often makes her the target of exclusion and even bullying. It would be one thing if she took it in stride but she does not. She’s super sensitive and dejection takes a huge toll on her. So I am constantly toying the line of guiding her away from behaviors and choices that may make her a target and allowing her to be herself. For example, this week she wanted to dress as Ms. Rachel to school. She has done it for her younger cousins and they loved it so in her mind her peers will too. I have to be so careful how I word it or I become the bully. I also don’t want to push my own ideas on her. How do other parents of socially awkward kids handle these issues? [/quote]
