[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven't read every response - but I haven't seen you mention whether this is something that really bothers your daughter? I have a teenage son who is a little bit different and he's never had tons of friends. He always seems to find his tribe, but it's small and they don't tend to do tons (so fewer birthday parties or get-togethers.) I used to worry he was bullied until every single one of his middle school teachers reported that he was very social and seemed quite popular in class. But he is happy doing his own thing most of the time.

Moral of the story is that you never know how your kid is perceived by others and if it's not broke (e.g., if she's not actively unhappy) don't try to fix it.[/quote]

Thank you for this response.  For most of the years she did not seem bothered by the isolation.  However as she ages, she has started noticing the constant rejection.  She is depressed at times and cries frequently.  What is most distressing is she gets so tired of trying, that she basically gives up and just 'exists' during the day.

She is not autistic or asbergers - this we know for certain.  Also, she does not smell.

If she just sits there, the kids ignore her.  If she tries to join in, they act disgusted or they ignore her.  It's a no-win situation.

I'm fully aware (as some of the PPs have suggested) that this is all my fault.  I 100% take blame for this situation.

The question is, how do I help this girl?  I sincerely appreciate much of the constructive advice on this thread and plan to act on said advice.[/quote]
