[quote=Anonymous]Sounds a little like my daughter who was diagnosed at age 12 last year with ASD.  It's the loner behavior on the playground that stands out to me, and the talking to herself.

My kid had a few friends, but I think she might have needed that alone time at recess to recover from the effort of keeping it together around other kids during classes.

Does your daughter get overwhelmed from anything on a routine basis?  That was another thing for us but it doesn't sound like an issue for your daughter.  Also some trouble with handwriting, memorizing math facts.  She is only 6 so it's a little early for some of these, but I'd be on the lookout.

Re the being alone at recess, I also remember reading something about ASD kids playing at recess alone but seeming to follow other groups of kids around the playground, and just be near them, so that it was hard for teachers to actually tell that the kid was isolated, because they seemed like part of a group to someone just casually watching.  My kid did that as she got older.[/quote]
