I was diagnosed(spelled wrong) with Turner's when I 10 years old. I am now 18 and live a perfectly normal life. I am 4"10(tall for TS) and yeah sometimes I get self conscious about my height. I also have problems with math but have good grades in the rest of my classes. I do not have a learning disability or most of the physical features stated in this article. I also have no behavioral problems. Yes there are a lot of other problems that TS women are more suscptable to like diabetes, kidney problems, heart problems, and osteoperosis, (which I have in mild form) but only in the severe cases. The only change in my life is I take birth control to have a period and I see an endocrinologist every so often. I look normal, act normal, and lead a normal life. I do not agree with this article and how it makes TS seem like some mental disorder...which it absolutly is not.
