Tracey From: lpukylo To: Autism_in_Girls Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 10:48 PM Subject: New Member Intro Hi all, Glad to find this group.........My dh and I live in PA with our dd, Abbey, age 12. We have another dd who is currently serving in the US Air Force, stationed in Guam... Our dd, Abbey is diagnosed with PDD-NOS. She also has mild MR. Last School year we decided to enroll her in a virtual charter school here in PA. This has worked out for the most part. She is involved in many social activites and enjoys these alot. Currently they are mostly with other special needs children. The gap has really expanded between her and her typical peers. In Pittsburgh, as everywhere I suppose, girls in the spectrum are hard to come by. I look forward to hearing all your experiences and sharing information.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 --- Hi Lynn Welcome to the group ! I am Diane and my dd , 10 is pdd-nos as well. Yes it is very rare to find another girl on the spectrum. I have had her psychologist arrange for to meet with other girls her age with similar personalities, on the spectrum so that she can make friends . So far she has successfully made 2 very good friends. As she is getting older, she is having les and less commonalities with girls her own age and she is finding it frustrating socializing trying so hard to be like them. Being with other girls on the spectrum is so much more relaxing because they can relate to each other and just be themselves.
