Hi guys, basically I am currently doing a module on my degree which is called understanding the autism spectrum and whilst going through some of the material I have picked up a lot of things that I notice in my 6 year old daughter. From an early age she has not made friends well, she doesn't seem to have any specific friends at school and she is seems to prefer to play on her own, when we spoke to the teachers about her saying she doesn't play with anybody, they said she only wants to play with people who play what she wants to play?! This didn't really ring any alarm bells for me as I was a loner at school. She is average or above in her school work by the way. Another thing is she seems not to really understand social rules sometimes for example getting in peoples faces and talking very loudly, she wouldn't go out of her way and talk to a class mate usually without me prompting her. Also I have noticed she really seems to struggle making eye contact with me and is quite obsessive about the television to the point of blocking people out as if she can not hear them, my other children occasionally ignore me whey they are watching TV but not in the same way. Can anyone advise?
Thanks
