7 year old just diagnosed with AA. Charlotte NC area. anyone out there?

My daughter will turn 8 in July and was just diagnosed with AA. She doesn't understand what is going on. She only has 1 bald spot so far thank GOD. However, it has only been 3 days. I need support and information I can trust. I have noticed her hair seems to be thinning also. I would love to introduce her to other kids that can be a positive influence and parents that can be a support group. Thank you

Hello

If I had seen this sooner, I would've posted. Every year there is a conference with an amazing kids camp for those with AA (It just passed last weekend). If you haven't heard of NAAF (National Alopecia Areata Foundations) I would check out their website. naaf.org

They have a lot of resources online (and can send you some pamphlets to inform schools and teachers if you want) and they could connect you with others as well. I was able to connect with some people in my area through them. There are support groups in most large cities and some smaller ones through them.
