Hi Emily's mom..My name is Cindy and my 6.5 yr old daughter has aloepica. I read your discussion and I am sorry Emily has to go through this. I have a back ground in special education so I want to think about this one. But, does Emily have a therapist or counselor at school that can help her deal with this. With Asperger's is it must be hard for Emily to express her emotions. Is she in an inclusion program or a special program? If she is in an inclusion program I think it is important to have a class talk about Emily's Alopecia. Having her classmates understand what she is going through may take some of the anxiety off. You can get materials from NAAF. You may want to have a team meeting at school with all of her teachers to let them know what is going on and collectively come up with a consistent response to her and others regarding the hair loss. Maybe she can have a buddy at school who can support her and help her in tough social situations..I think because Emily has sensory issues it is going to be hard to find something that she will wear on her head. Will she wear a hat of some sort. I would gets something soft and light weight..I wish Emily the best!
