[quote=Anonymous]Talking to the school counselor can help ... at the very least they will be supportive of her and can watch for opportunities to help her. I'm a parent of a boy with HFA and we've been keeping him in social skills groups. I know groups for girls exist, but they're more difficult to come by. They tend to gender separate social skills groups because "social skills" expectations vary dramatically by gender in this age group. The group helps kids manage all kinds of social situations. Especially given your daughter is in tears about this, I would recommend finding a therapist. A good therapist can also help your DD find the right social skills group or develop hobbies that can help her meet "her people" and manage the anxiety that goes with that. [/quote]
