[quote=Anonymous]I completely empathize, since my daughter is the same way. Unfortunately, the school probably isn't going to be able to change the schedule just to accommodate a social request, especially since there's no IEP in place that would document that this is a need. It doesn't hurt to try though. I would suggest instead encouraging your daughter to work with the hand she's been dealt: maybe eating lunch outside, in the library or in a favorite teacher's classroom. (My daughter's art teacher would allow her to sit quietly in the back and work on art while the teacher conducted a class.) Make sure she maintains the friends that she already has by having her invite them over, arrange fun weekend activities, offer rides, etc. Above all, don't over-react on this, or it will just feed her unhappiness and anxiety. I know it hurts, but you don't want to inadvertently send the message that you don't think she's capable of making friends. [/quote]
