Oh, Grinity, I forgot to add that we go to meditation at the buddhist centre every week. DD's favourite is metta bhavana!

I just read up on that and it sounds like a perfect fit for your DD's perfectionism and your 'expanded awareness' of yourself too - can you work a 15 minute sit into your daily lives once or twice a day? The meditation I do involves listening or feeling the pulse or heartbeat and timing the breathing to the pulse-count. You might like to try adding that to everything else for more fun.
I also sprinkle a minute or two of deep slow breaths throughout the day when I need to get more compassion-energy to get through. Slowly over time this could become a powerful tool for your dd.
Heartbreaking to think of your DD behind the couch hiding from the 'hard questions.' Is homeschooling a possibility? What about a gradeskip? Or going up to higher-aged rooms for reading? If you homeschooled, would you be able to recruit her current teacher as a science tutor?
The afterschool activities sound good. Keep tweaking!
Grinity
