I don’t know if my expectations are unreasonable. My daughter is currently seeing the community paediatrician about possible asd. The Dr says it’s a tricky case because she doesn’t completely fit the criteria but there are obvious problems with eye contact and some social scenarios.
She has just started reception and isn’t doing well at making friends. She’s trying hard but just doesn’t quite seem to have the skills there. For eg this morning she was trying to join in with some other kids at drop off time and they ended up turning away from her repeatedly and after a few tries to join in she just stopped and stood, looking down in the playground.
By her account this is fairly standard at school. I’ve spoken to the teachers a few times but because she’s well behaved they just leave her to herself but at home she’s so sad because she says she’s lonely at school.
I don’t know what to do.
