Hi Tami, my daughter was just diagnosed this summer with AA but has recently lost all of her hair (95%), so I am guessing she is really AT. I share the same concerns as you for the future and how to deal with it. My daughter is 3 and could care less about her situation. She has a great personality and great attitude. I am concerned about what will happen when she goes to school or as she gets older. At this point we talk about her not having hair as if it is no big deal. This seems to work so far, and the kids she goes to school with haven't said anything. There are some books on the CAP site for kids and adults that I am interested in checking out. I wish I had more to tell you, but I am also very new to this. Take care, Meg

Hi Tami, my daughter is 16 mo old, and was dx w/ AA, starting at 13 mo. I am concerned it will keep progressing, it still is. She does have lashes and brows, though those could be next? Anyways, I have had a difficult time finding anyone who was dx this young. It has been very sad and frustrating to me. Did your daughter start out w/ AA and develop AT? Angie
