Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi there, Hopefully your niece has internet access at college as there is an Adult RSS support group here on Yahoo called " RSS People " . I think they are quite active. They are truly wonderful women and will give your neice tons and tons of support. Leah. > > my 18 year old niece has rss. I just recently found this out.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I hope you were able to get a copy of the latest MAGIC Newsletter! In it, several adult RSS women shared their wisdom and insights about what helped them not only survive, but THRIVE as adults. I think your niece will really benefit from reading this...And, of course, she should join www.yahoogroups.com/groups/RSS-People to share experiences with other RSS adults. And, if your niece comes to Convention next summer, Saturday will include a wonderful panel discussion with kids/young adults with RSS. Past presentations literally wowed the audience and moved many of us to tears. Tears of pride and admiration. Not pity. I have met RSS women who are lawyers, newlyweds, therapists, teachers and salespeople! Your niece has a bright future ahead of her. Katy > > > > my 18 year old niece has rss.
