I hear you. It can be very lonely experience It's almost impossible to talk about it in front of other people. I do have a few friends with whom I share a lot, but I am still careful of what I say.
I think if your DD had learning disabilities, you would probably still feel alone and people wouldn't get it, but you would be able to talk about it all you wanted. Nobody would think that you were just showing off.
DYS is a huge blessing. Meeting real people with similar kids is priceless.
As far as the application goes, I suggest a glass of vine and get it over with
I think the scores are the most important part of the application. Try to think of funny examples, something which surprised you, something your child does better than you (if there is such a thing). Think about something she learned really fast. Look at the scores and concentrate at the area of her strength.
Good luck
