We have suspected for some time that DD (10) has ASD traits. After raising our concerns with the Head (also the SENCo) she agreed with us and has brought in resource to observe DD in the first instance.
Her behaviours include being bossy, impulsive and brutally honest. Whilst she doesn't mean to be unkind this has obviously created friendship barriers and is now at the extent where her classmates actively avoid her .
The problem is she just doesn't see that it is her behaviour contributing to the situation and she blames everyone else. It is heartbreaking listening to her cry after school that no one wants to play with her but she won't listen to me or my suggestions.
Am hoping that a formal diagnosis will come soon and we get some advice but in the meantime how can I help her? She does plenty of extra-curricular activities to keep her mind off things but she is desperately lonely at school and I'm afraid it will only get worse once she's at secondary school.
