[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 588309, member: 15907"] MidwestMom: Oh, absolutely issues! I won't share the stuff she tells me, by the standards of "normal" or "neurotypical" she's definitely not either of those. I think she was older, not as much as 6 but not an infant either. And yes, she's in her 20's. She is medication compliant, her biggest stressor on our family trips is remembering to bring her medications along - and then forgetting to stay on schedule if she gets distracted (which doesn't happen much but my mom is good at timing her Stuff for when people have other things they have to do. She's 94, right? :) ) I think she does know about the heredity issues, but in her case trying to get *any* information about her birth mother or the family has been Not Very Successful, given how her mom has been fighting releasing any information at all, and what she has to do (she has said) to get anything out of Korea. She avoids illegal drugs, holds down a job with a Very Significant State Government office, and her desire for stability is almost heartbreaking at times. So she does all she can, never misses a bill, a rent payment or car payment, and knows she has friends who will listen when it gets rough. I will forward on the questions (minus your closing comment. :) ) She has little in the way of embarrassability, so I don't think any of your questions will be a problem. Everyone else - thank you for your kind words, and thank you for my friend's sake too. May I forward back your comments? All identifiers will be stripped. Moderators, is this a violation of the forum rules? I will wait for all your thoughts on this. [/QUOTE]
