I feel so sorry for her. She has autistic traits, but I'm not sure enough for a diagnosis. She has been on the Camhs waiting list for two years. She has struggled for years with friendships - never had a best friend, rarely invited anywhere. In primary school she excitedly stood for school council and received one vote. This year she has received one Christmas card. I hate to see her struggling so much socially.
DS has quite severe autism, ADHD and mild learning difficulties, but has a great life in his special school with a group of quirky friends. DD is sitting in her room all of the time, being excluded from friendship groups and having no social life whatsoever. It's so fucking unfair I could weep. She's almost 13. She's in several clubs, but doesn't appear to make friends there either.
