Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Food allergy case

We're going to send DD with a thermo-electric cooler that she can use as a personal mini-fridge, and as the time gets closer, she'll either need to pick a roomie that is cool with food restrictions, or room as a single if that fails.

She'll be fine, I know. It's just an extra layer of "scary" when they are this young and this vulnerable. Luckily, this is the same research group that she worked with all last summer, so her allergies are just a fact of life to them all at this point.

DD is elated about this-- she was afraid that the grant would preclude her working this summer b/c of her age.
