Thanks for your thoughts and support--we do need to keep on the good side of this school, and also want to--they've been great. I just always feel like if I disagree with a psych, people who aren't me are going to think, hmmm... who am I going to believe, The Psychologist or the crazy-mom-in-denial? The funny thing is DD was actually in a group at the same practice a couple of years ago and I felt like it was helpful because the psych then *did* get DD and was supportive--but of course she then moved away. (So did DD's wonderful teachers at her previous school--why is it always the awesome people who move away, and not the ones you wish would leave???)
On the other hand, fortunately part of DD's lack of social skills manifests as her not having long-lasting sensitivity about such things. So in a way her social issues can be a double-edged sword, or have a silver lining I guess
