My little girl is 4 on Thursday. She keeps playing out scenario's where her toys are friends and when I'm telling her a bedtime story the past 3 nights she's asked me for one about friends :( she seems very interested in this subject
Aurora attends nursery and I've observed her on some occasions approaching another child (while we are waiting to go in) where she's tried to go over and say hello but the other kids just don't know how to take her and ignore her, look uncomfortable or walk away. She doesn't understand how to interact with other kids. I'm told she mostly plays on her own (quite happy doing so) and when another child interrupts her game she will either walk away or have a tantrum. (the other kids interrupting the 'flow' of how she wants the 'game' or task to progress I figure)
She's a sunny little girl, she's incredibly happy and pleasant towards everyone. I want with my whole heart to help her make a friend, I just don't know where to start and I don't know if there are any groups local to me we can meet with other asd kids and their parents that might have the same wish as me.
Any help for my sweet girl to help her get a birthday wish of making a friend your advice would be gratefully received
