[quote=Anonymous]OP, this was DD all through upper ES/MS. It was tough to watch. We did the same socia skills class and same results. We just kept at it and for a few years I was her ‘bestie’. We did a lot together while still trying to find new groups to practice social skills with her peers. One thing that helped the most was volunteering with animals and younger kids. This was pre Covid and one shelter had read to cats program (DC is also dyslexic). Then she started volunteering with kids 2-4 grades younger and this bolstered her confidence. Fast forward and at the end of HS she has friends and is doing great. Certainly not a social butterfly, but 2 or 3 really good friends and a larger casual circle. [/quote]
