[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid, who has HFA, is extremely lonely. She is afraid to talk to other kids because "they might make fun of her". Instead, unless someone else initiates, she just gets depressed. I know part of it is extreme social anxiety (exacerbated by the autism). The other thing I know is she is not unpopular. She is not popular, but she is her. If we can get through HS, I am pretty sure she will be fine. I see someone who is smart, funny, cute, but lonely. [/quote] My DD is a lot like yours. But she is not popular and she feels it. Even the girls she has been in GS with for years don’t pay her any mind. We talk about it a occasionally but I try not to dwell on it. We concentrate on doing things she likes and I hope she finds her people someday. But it is hard to watch. [/quote]
