[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks again everyone. Actually, I didn't think that the special needs forum was only for more pronounced or severe things.  I just picked this board because of the teen self-esteem aspect of all this and because this board feels more active. I'll confess-- I was probably a little defensive after getting advice both that we would make her feel terrible if we mention it and that she might resent us forever for ignoring some really obvious thing that we should have addressed. It is not so pronounced that any doctor, teacher, or family member has ever mentioned it to us. (And I really appreciate the PP who pointed that out. It makes me feel better or at least less foolish or neglectful for not focusing on it before.) We have just one child and no experience and, as I said, we thought it was something that would disappear with time and maturity. I have posted something on the special needs forum now. Thanks for the feedback. [/quote]

There is a huge range of what is considered SN but that would fall under it.  Look at some of the university programs as it will be cheaper and younger/more fun therapists who she can relate to better.  Most people are not going to mention it.[/quote]
