Teach her to make friends. Teach her to express her thoughts, feelings, needs and wants. Be a good listener and teach her this skill. Be proud of her, both at home and in public. Help her feel strong, capable, lovable and proud.
All children have special needs and special gifts.
Our job is to help each of them make the most of what they have and be all that they can be. Most parents of special needs children find that letting them take the normal risks that other kids take is very hard. Your support is important, but ALL children need to learn that sometimes we make mistakes, sometimes we fail at a task, and sometimes friends are untrue or unkind. Likewise, avoid making excuses or exceptions for your child's behavior. Use the same firm but loving guidelines and clear expectations that you would for any child, and follow through consistently.
