[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The author of "Far From The Tree" used this term to refer to special needs and disabled kids looking far younger than their chronological age -- how nature makes those who require the most care look the most in need of care. My DD is definitely in this category. Looks like a toddler at age 6. I know a lot of other disabled kids who also look tiny. 10 year olds who look 5, 15 year olds who look 10. I wonder if there are any studies of this phenomenon.[/quote] I would be careful about this because our dc was not growing, still had that baby face, and turned out to have growth hormone deficiency, which can delay brain myelenation (they told us he had an in utero stroke). 6 years later, brain has fully myelenated, in 99th percentile and no longer looks like a baby at all![/quote]
