Turner Syndrome & Socializing

    I understand that some with TS struggle with socializing. Because of various developmental issues, it can be difficult for those with TS to relate to their peers and vice versa. Luckily there are programs parents can look into to help their child if they are struggling with this.

I personally have never struggled with it. I will say though I'm a little shyer now that I'm older, but I doubt that's a TS thing. I grew up with three sisters, two older and one younger. I think that having siblings probably helped me. I also had a lot of cousins I had spent time with when I was younger as well. I was also enrolled in Pre-School before attending Kindergarten which I feel helped give me a head start when it came to socializing outside of my family.

I also feel as though other non-TS-related things play into socializing. Some people are just more introverted where others may be more extroverted. TS doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. No one person is exactly alike and that's okay. TS doesn't necessarily control every aspect of our lives it only does if we let it.
