Dd8, now in a full time G&T class, is doing much better this year. She is much happier overall, participates more in class, has some friends, likes to go to school, etc... I couldn't be happier. That is until I went to school and still noticed that when they sit in a group on the floor dd still will sit all the way in the back or to the side by herself. This is something she has always done since she started school. Before this year I thought she did it bc she was bored or uninterested and daydreaming... which may be part of it. But now that she expresses herself more she tells me she doesn't like too many people around her.
And I also peeked in on her at lunch and while she was sitting at a table with other girls she was turned completely to the side so she wouldn't face them and ate that way. She has also told me she will sometimes chose to sit at a table by herself b/c it bothers her to watch others eat, says it makes her lose her appetite.
Are these sensory issues?
