[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's possible that she'll do better in public school where teachers are more used to dealing with neurodiverse kids and there are more options for friend groups.  I'd consider pulling off the bandaid and switching her now so she doesn't keep struggling. It stinks to be in a school where you aren't supported by the teachers and other kids are intentionally doing things to upset you (bullying).  Switching now will give her some time to start making friends before the summer and keep her from being anxious about the switch all summer.  If not, I'd at least start trying to loop her into that social scene and school community. Maybe attend a school play or look at summer camps associated with the school?

Before she starts, I'd reach out to the guidance counselor and see if you can get some supports for a new and anxious student.  Maybe they'd assign her a buddy to introduce her to friends?  I'd also try to talk to teachers so they understand how best to support her.[/quote]
