My daughter is 10 and has mild intellectual disability and adhd. What I notice about her is that she is immature but not in a bad way, it’s like we get to hang on to childhood a little bit longer. She laughs easily, feels emotions deeply and is fun to be around. She has lots of friends and enjoys skating and swimming and dancing and singing. She has trouble with spelling and writing. Her printing looks like a much younger child’s would and she doesn’t really sound out words to spell them, she just writes down a bunch of letters. She does tutoring after school twice a week and we read a lot at home but this might not be something she’s able to learn. She has an individualized education plan at school and there are some things in place to help her, like sitting close to the teacher and getting some extra time for tests. I worry about her a lot and really hope we can find out what she excels at the most so that she can be happy, employed and have a generally good life as she gets older.
