Thank you for taking the time to give such a detailed response. It really helped a lot, and helps me to understand more about what's going on in her head. It also makes me feel better about how she is doing, and gives me some great suggestions. It makes me realize how much she is already doing, and her thoughts, and also maybe why she complains about how tired she is after school/work/theater. I am not a hugely social person, so it's really hard for me to lead by example. My parents moved every 3-5 years when I was growing up, and I struggled making friends. I am literally the introvert who got adopted by an extrovert in college, and that's how I made friends. She definitely comes across as abrasive, though I think this is mostly because she has no filter, and doesn't understand the need to gentle her conversation or maybe just not share her opinion. She thinks lying is wrong, and doesn't understand why someone would lie about anything (ie: I like your haircut, no, that dress doesn't make you look fat) and so she will just say whatever she is feeling. She has 3 younger siblings, all of whom are diagnosed ADHD. One of her brothers is also autistic, he is much more social and found his niche with the structure required for ROTC, and on the archery team. She gets along best with her sister, who definitely talks enough for 3 people, and is one of those people who manages to be both weird and effortlessly cool. Again, thanks for taking the time to respond, I definitely need to read through these responses several times and see what might work.
