ABSTRACT
Jessica is 9 years old. She refuses to read aloud in class, and during recess she stands on the sideline watching the other children play games. Outside school, she interacts only with her immediate family, her cousins, and one friend. When people, even her grandparents, come to the house to visit, Jessica hides in her room. She will go to dancing lessons but refuses to perform on stage in the year-end dance recital. She also refuses to go to birthday parties or join the neighborhood soccer team.
