[QUOTE="juliabohemian, post: 174576, member: 5566"] [B]Marguerite -[/B]The thing is that my daughter doesn't appear to have any trouble relating to kids her own age. Other kids get along with her, for the most part. She doesn't appear to be oblivious to social cues. I have several Aspie friends, so I'm not totally clueless in that regard. I personally remember not being able to relate to other children and I don't think I really got along with my peers in a practical sense until I was about 15 or so. But it wasn't that I didn't understand social cues. I was hypersensitive to any sort of critisism or anything that resembled rejection -I later realized because of my mother's scathing remarks. I was forced into GATE because of high test scores and when I failed to perform at the level she wanted, I was labeled a failure in her eyes. She repeated this process with all 4 of her children. My biggest fear was that my daughter would suffer the same social alienation that I felt growing up, but so far that does not appear to be the case. of course, I have no idea how much of that was exacerbated by my mother's inability to give a **** about my feelings.
