feel free to vent any time :)

I was surprised at how young you experienced clear symptoms (eg.hallucination), only because so many PWN have increasing symptoms starting around 10-14 years old and average 14 years to diagnosis.

My son is 6 and I'm trying to understand what he's experiencing. Would you consider e-mailing me sometime and discuss some of these areas? So I can understand how these symptoms may be perceived by a younger child. Or even, any normal events that were particularly hard, or needed slight accomodation to be accessible when you were young? There is just so little information on narcolepsy in children....

Thanks so much
