[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely empathize, since my daughter is the same way.  Unfortunately, the school probably isn't going to be able to change the schedule just to accommodate a social request, especially since there's no IEP in place that would document that this is a need.  It doesn't hurt to try though.  
I would suggest instead encouraging your daughter to work with the hand she's been dealt:  maybe eating lunch outside, in the library or in a favorite teacher's classroom.  (My daughter's art teacher would allow her to sit quietly in the back and work on art while the teacher conducted a class.)  Make sure she maintains the friends that she already has by having her invite them over, arrange fun weekend activities, offer rides, etc.  
Above all, don't over-react on this, or it will just feed her unhappiness and anxiety.  I know it hurts, but you don't want to inadvertently send the message that you don't think she's capable of making friends.

Thank you.  This is the most realistic advice given so far. [/quote]

OP we actually went through this with DD and it was very tough. The school was supportive as well as they could be and they were nice about it. They did not say we were helicopter parents; they were not mean to her or us. There wasn’t much they could do they changed one class. My DD did have a problem that we solved with medication. It’s hard to know what to do. [/quote]
