[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be nicer and more patient. Laugh with her. 
Be glad she's included in anything and having a nice time.

Share her joy. Have joy for her. Love her.[/quote]

PP, you probably mean well, but, ugh. This is pretty condescending and dismissive. Wanting to help her daughter handle this better IS the loving thing to do.

OP, find someone who runs a group using the Social Thinking program by Michelle Garcia Winner. Or check out some of her materials yourself. I think there is actually a character called "Was Funny Once". Maybe a song? Sorry, I am sketchy on details because my son does not really have this particular quirk, but his social group definitely worked on this. (Not in DC so can't recommend).[/quote]

Nope - I did this with my severely autistic kid for years and years and years.
He's way more severe compared to this kid and I did not get frustrated. Many other people got frustrated but I just kept plugging away.
There's got to be at least one person who isn't always critical of the kid and the nonstop craziness and if it's not mom or dad I don't know who that's going to be. [/quote]
