[quote=Anonymous]OP, there are online coding classes.  My son is very similar to your daughter in many ways, and he did a Java coding class through Youth Digital.  He learned to make his own Minecraft mod.  It was the first time I saw him do something and genuinely seem proud of himself for it (even though he's a smart kid who gets good grades).  He was excited to show off his creations.

As for socialization, we took my DS out of public school, where he was flat-out overwhelmed by the number of other kids, and put him in a very small private school where there are only 12 other kids in his grade/class.  It has been wonderful for him.  Maybe that's not an option for you, but in looking for opportunities for her to expand her social horizons, remember to keep it small.  Sports teams and dance classes with tons of other girls and a lot of chaos may be too much for her.

Also, don't beat yourself up about having dropped the ball on some things.  We're a 2 FT working parent family, too, and it is HARD.  You can't be perfect.  What you can be is a safe place for your child to be herself and be loved for it.[/quote]
