Thats great that shes starting to get intergrated into a school again and that shes happy!! Our daughter is in a private school, I go to the local state school that she would have gone to for playgroups with my younger daughter and I see 22 kids in a playgorund the size of my daughters classroom, then I go to pick her up from the private school and see her class of 12 running around in a playground the size of the entire state school! She absolutely loves it and its so worth spending all of our money and more on! :wink:

Good luck :)

Hey Sisymay..what are the things that your daughter really likes, and likes doing? What makes her happy?
Just thinking thats often a good place to start from when considering how to make friendships.

@ MMJMOM , She is VERY lonely. Her oldest sister has 2 step sons that are around her age. They use to see each other some, but now at this age they don't have anything to do with her, even if we are visiting them at home. This really hurts her. We are going to try for her to go back to school next week from 10-2. The lunch time is 1 hour, in between those hours. I chose this so she can have that time to socialize.
Yesterday, the dr. didn't change her meds much. She is taking 4, he only changed one to take 1 1/2 pill instead of 1. UGH we are tired of waiting till Nov 14 to Marcus Center!!
Just tonight she was crying so bad, me and her daddy just sat on her bed and cried with her. This has been going on nonstop for about 6 yrs. It's not like we're doing nothing, I am trying and doing all I can. Last week I started a social group on yahoo and spread the word. So far only 6 joined. I asked where they lived to plan activities, no reply. I just don't understand it. As much as people say their kids are so lonely, no one wants to do this!!

@ ConfusedNewb, she was only happy while she said that. She has been depressed, lonely and crying since then. It is just really bad.

@nostromo, she loves pokemon, playing 3ds games, making up stories either oral or written, she likes certain movies and incorporates these into what she is saying sometimes. For example, she'll be watching a cartoon and say ' what if so and so pokemon was on that cartoon'. She also draws pokemon and movie characters.
I have tried to use this as a way to make friendships, but not sure really how. I recently found out there are 'pokemon leagues' in certain cities for fans to get together, play games, etc. Well, the closest one to us is 45 min away, only once a month, and they only do one part of what other cities do, and she's not interested in that part.

I hope those 6 families respond and you are able to set up something soon.
