[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Also, my kid is a little "spectrum-y," Not so much that you would really notice, but making friends is hard for her. So a lot of typical activities that kids would do and make friends doing don't work so well. She will often just keep to herself. And she might have done that at this program, and I couldn't have blamed them. But we have worked hard this year to get her to come out of her shell more and be more comfortable with herself in a variety of ways, so that's why I had high hopes. She did extracurricular things at school this year. [/quote]

I have a similar kid (with an actual autism diagnosis) who is soon starting a pre-college program. The website talks about social events in the evening, but it will certainly be less structured than the camps she's done in the past, and I'm nervous. My daughter's program is only two weeks long so I'm trying to think of it as a low stakes way of learning which skills we need to target before graduation. I hope your daughter is able to get benefit from her month -- and I share your worry.[/quote]
