[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 495454, member: 9177"] Unfortunately, this has been a lifelong issue for our difficult child. We used to live in a small, close community with several girls around difficult child's age nearby. The kids were always playing at each others' houses, but difficult child was often left out because she just couldn't wrap her head around the concept of playing nicely. It got worse as she got older, and it was really bad in the preteen years because the other girls had FAR surpassed difficult child in maturity, and none of them wanted to be around her because she was mean. It was heartbreaking to watch, especially because try as we might, difficult child just never "got it." Although we don't live there anymore, she still really struggles socially and really doesn't have any friends. When she IS interacting with kids her age (and younger), I often have one or more come up to me saying that difficult child isn't being nice. All this is despite all we've done as far as interventions, therapy, etc. She just does. not. get. it. Sorry I don't have any good answers, but you aren't alone in this struggle. It's so hard to watch. [/QUOTE]
