[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have any actual friends who have disabilities? There was a thread a few weeks ago about how bad it feels to be someone's community service project but not be worthy of being someone's friend.[/quote]
She has a friend from summer camp with CP.[/quote]
NP here.  OP if you'd like to see what was said on the thread PP referenced, I found it here.  Good luck to your daughter.

Different treatment to teens with SN in mainstream? https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1021780.page[/quote]

OP here--thank you so much for sharing this with me.  I can totally see how kids would do this (from what I've seen, almost all community service around here is purely for community service hours/college resume boosting, but it's particularly upsetting in this context.)

My DD really loves the (limited) work she has done in this area but it has been with younger kids (as opposed to peers).  She is an extremely empathetic kid and I will suggest she also find a way to make connections with kids her age.[/quote]
