5 year old girl is made fun of at school

Hello

My girl was diagnosed ASD when she was 3 and a half years. She had lots of sensory issues and used to flap hands (it's almost gone). Looking at her lot of people uses the term ' she doesn't look autistic'. She has speech and language difficulties and her fear of noise is almost under her control now.

Her reception year coming to an end and everyone child and their parents have found their best friend and groups. My girl is left out of all. She doesn't have any best friend or any real friend. In her head all are her friends. When I ask her who did you play with? She takes names of girls I know for sure are making fun of her on her face

I have seen in birthday parties n other occasions.my heart breaks to million pieces when I go to pick her up from school and see her looking at everyone with a hope that they will play or talk to her. She waves goodbyes at them and some of them won't even look at her. She sits alone for lunch or next to a boy who won't even turn towards her. One of the parties she was made constant fun of and laughed at.

Teachers have same answer everytime I ask something that everything is fine, we are keeping an eye and she is doing good. 

Every single school event/activity so far she was on her own without any friends.

I can't bear this pain anymore when I see girls of her age exchanging gifts, things made for obe another, chatting, having fun and my girl keeps staring at them and hardly says anything throughout the day. 

Parents of other kids are being nice on face but would never invite for playdate or even go together at the park. It's obvious they don't want their child to play with girl who has some struggle communicating.

She is doing really well but still needs to be given instructions one to one in order to make sure she got it right. She is such a lovely little girl, very kind and polite. 

I cried and cried tonight just worrying about what is in store for her in future?

Is there anyone out there who will be her friend and will look forward to seeing her everyday. 

Why did this happen to her? Why she had to go through so much pain and us still going when other kids of her age are living cheerful carefree life enjoying every single moment.

Why did God gave one child everything and took so much from the other?

I cry to bed almost every nite

  • I wanted to say I have no answer but feel the same. My son was bullied terribly in primary, beat badly. made fun of, I pulled him out twice to home educate him but I myself couldnt cope with this over time sadly. 

    We tried 4 different primary schools in the end. His High school has the best SEN support in the area but the children are horiffic, in year 7 he was assaulted so badly in class the police were called. 

    He's never had friends in school. He joined the scouts last year, there were a couple of issues with kids but the scout leader was on it straight away as they have strong core values.(if only schools were as good!) Anyway he's actually made friends at scouts now! He's having his first actual birthday party (I thought I'd never see). Scouts come up to him happy to see him I could cry when I see that! Theres a couple of scouts in his school so thats helped a little with the school situation. We had tried so many groups etc but he hated them all. Scouts he loves! They do have cubs early, it may be an option? I wish I'd sent my boy earlier to be honest
