Dd2 (8) has been 'sort of' diagnosed with Social Communication Disorder. I say, 'sort of' because the SALT that did her assessment did not specialise in this area, she dealt with speech problems due to nervous conditions like Selective Mutism. This was in June and I was told that I would have to wait until the new term in September to get the correct SALT to assess her. I am still waiting. I am constantly ringing the school and being fobbed off for one reason or another and I am at the end of my tether. She only has one 'friend', who is rather nasty to her and treats her pretty shabbily. I keep telling her she should try and find someone else to play with but she is strangely drawn to this girl. It breaks my heart to see her standing alone in the playground whilst this girl runs off with other children. I don't know what I expect anyone to say to me but I just wanted to get it off my chest and maybe realise I am not alone in this.
