[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739739, member: 23349"] Another thought - if she is diagnosed as aspie/high functioning autism, recognize that she may need more modeling and practice of social interactions. That may be why she’s hiding behind a screen. I had a lot of trouble with things like reading body language, knowing how to start a conversation, and knowing how to respond if someone approached me. It didn’t come naturally. That can make seamingly simple tasks like getting a school ID, which involves imteracting with a stranger, feel insurmountable. So make her get uncomfortable, but also be prepared to offer extra support and explicit modeling and practice as she takes those steps. Wishing you all luck! [/QUOTE]
