2020.03.06 Reflecting On Who My Daughter Is

I think I already knew, but the actual word churns up emotional trouble inside myself that I admit I am afraid of.
I should be braver, like she is.
And see the fascination within it, like she can.

We'll see where we are, and go from there.

UPDATE:

The results of the assessment were actually a bit surprising.
Violet is indeed quite behind where she is supposed to be, both for her grade and her age. Just as we were worried about.
The tricky part is that she broke the IQ portion of the test. Which makes me feel a bit proud, in a selfish way. But it means that her learning disabilities are far more problematic that imagined, when considering where she is compared to where she should be.

It breaks my heart to think about what it must be like for her, to be so brilliant yet unable to have that manifest in the shared reality.

No wonder she spends all her time in her imagination.
