Trying to find information online about this specific thing but finding it hard to find anything - can anyone help with this one please either from own experience/suggesting resources? Any other info re: ASD in girls would also be really helpful. Not diagnosed with ASD but beginning to wonder if that's something we should be looking at. DD had male and female friends as part of a group at primary as they all had similar interests but my daughter never had a female best friend or close female friends or got invited to birthday parties/sleepovers etc by girls. Neither did she ever seem interested in hanging out with girls or making female friends. She's not into hair/make up/fashion or boys in a romantic sense which I don't think is a prerequisite of being female by a long stretch but have just noticed that a lot of the girls her age seem increasingly to be. She doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere (she has said this to me). I'm concerned now that DD is at high school as situation still same and I worry as dynamics may well change and I fear this will leave her isolated and a target for bullies. I also fear the boys growing tired of her hanging around them as they all get older. I feel that already they may just tolerate her hanging around, whereas to her she sees them as her friends, which breaks my heart. She also presents as quite naive for her age which again I worry makes her more vulnerable. Never sought a diagnosis for ASD but wondering if I should look at this now as do have other concerns in addition. Trying to find the best way to support her going forward and not sure how best to proceed. Any info either from personal experience or professional perspective would be really appreciated, thanks in advance.
