✅ After-School Meltdowns: Held-in stress erupts at home, not school.
✅ Perfectionism: Small mistakes trigger distress; girls avoid asking help.
✅ Playground Fatigue: Breaks drain autistic girls rather than energise them.
✅ Diagnosis Timing: Earlier understanding eases the transition into high school.
✅ Teacher Signs: Watch anxiety, possessive friendships, and end-of-day unravelling.
