From what I've read on the forum, it seems like the majority of people who have been diagnosed with AA at a young age, usually develop AT or AU eventually. Is this always the case?

I'm 25 and have had AA since I was 3. It was really active when I was 5-10 years old, but then settled down. Two years ago, my hair started shedding massively. It was only early last year that it started to get bad and have now lost over 90% of my hair. This is the worse it has been from when I was child. However, I have never gone into AT or AU. I have however lost eyebrow hair and eyelashes during my teen years and still managed to keep a thick head of hair.

I've had regrowth recently, it grew about a centimetre and exclamation hairs are what's left of it. I've sort of lost hope that my hair is going to grow back.
