[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 264854, member: 1550"] Are there any kids she hangs with almost every day? I know that, being on my fifth kid, teens and pre-teens tend to hang with their friends more than family. Once a month or thru e-mail and cell phones isn't the same as continuously socializing. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son sees his friends almost exclusively at school. He has one friend who comes over maybe once a month and another (a girl) who forces him to go to things like Homecoming--he would never chose to do that on his own. But he isn't in the "normal" range of socializing. He's fifteen and my four other kids were always one foot out the door by that age. That's more the norm. I homeschooled for a year and the kids had a group with other homeschooled kids, but, to be honest, they really didn't get the same exposure that they get in school. It was different. However, to me (and I'm just a layperson) it sounds more like your daughter may have something "off"...more like an underlying or impending mental health disorder...I hope you can get her the right sort of diagnosis and treatment that she needs.
