Now, this might only be moderately alarming... but for us, it's TERRIFYING, since she also has a life-threatening hidden disability that has required a lot of us as parents in terms of management. (Complicated, I know...)
We will have managed to delay her graduation from high school until she's 14,
Welcome HowlerKarma,
Your DD sounds like a wonderful kid. I am wondering if you are planning to send her to University for her undergraduate degree when she is older? If so, I would strongly urge you to find a way to delay her formal graduation from High School until she is old enough to 'go off' to college. She can take lots of community college classes while she is still officially in High School, but it is a little bit complicated.
Have you considered joining Davidson YSP? They sponsor an email list for parents of kids who have done or considered early college. This might be a very good resource for your situation. They have considerable experience with various colleges, questions of dorm living, etc.
Welcome and More Welcome,
Grinity
