[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She might be lacking social skills to you, but perhaps isn’t too far off from how her friends act or other peers at school.

If the teachers haven’t reached out and said something, she’s holding her own socially.

Lots of kids have one word answers, no eye contact…if the teacher asks her a question, I bet she responds.

Bad advice. Don’t rely on the fact that a teacher hasn’t said anything to mean all is well.[/quote]

I agree. Can you ask a teacher or someone at school to observe and let you know? My DS is on the spectrum and I worry about him being alone and isolated. Only way for me to know is to get feedback from the school. [/quote]

Teachers are really not trained for this and many would not feel comfortable raising flags when they are not professionally trained to do. They might also be afraid to be candid even when asked for their opinion, because it might offend the parents. It would be best to get an outside evaluation.[/quote]
