[quote=Anonymous]My DD, 9, continues to be told she is a unique case -- some exec functioning issues, some speech, some attention, some stimming, but nothing full blown enough to warrant a label. I would call her a smart, but immature kid who is sometimes a beat or two behind the other kids. I realize I'm really summarizing here and happy to provide more info but (today) my question is this -- she is just dying to be social with the other girls -- just yearns for it so much, but often, more often then not, interacts in a different way that's obvious to the other girls right away. She'll use an inappropriate tone, or she'll think she's being dramatic but really she sounds rude, or she'll laugh (out of discomfort) at inappropriate times. Also, I've noticed that she just cant express her feelings the way the other girls can and they are started to be typical tweens and complain about teachers being unfair or complain about their parents or whatever. Anyway, this is all to say, I have her in speech therapy, and do as many play dates as possible and she's in camp with friends etc. And I realize that this is just going to take some time and there is no magic bullet, but is there anything else I can be doing?  I want to give her pointers when I witness some of this but sometimes my pointers make her feel bad about herself.  [/quote]
