I read that yours wants to go off and read. Would she maybe like just hanging in the same room with you while she reads? You could read your own thing, work on your art, etc? I enjoy very much being close to other people but doing our own stuff. It feels less intense.

I am hoping being in a bigger state that I will have better options for evaluations here, and her age. I don't think she doesn't have add and angziety - I mean she is related to me. Our Dr put us on the weight list for evaluation about a year ago, I have no idea what has happened to that I need to bring it up with our new Dr.


And yes she very much would love to read with me in the evenings. I need to make it a priority to do with her. But for her to enjoy it I have to actually be reading with her or listening to an audio book with headphones and knitting or anything. It is hard for me to want to sit down and read in the evenings, reading is fun and I enjoy it but being dyslexic it is not a relaxing thing for me at all. I need to try to make that happen this evening because she would enjoy it.
