And Another one!! Plus an estimation of how many suffer from this condition

[Guest guest]

My middle daughter had a sleep over last night for her birthday, and

there was a girl who came whose demeanor reminded me of my youngest

daughter who suffers from 4s. After the girl left the next morning,

my middle daughter said, " Oh yeah, mom, she has what Becca has. " I

wish my daughter would have told me sooner so that I could ask her

questions and tell her about this website.

My daughter says that she saw her holding her ears in class while a

boy was eating candy next to her. Most kids wouldn't really notice

this kind of behavior, but my two daughters who don't have 4s are so

aware of sounds and they really are aware of spotting people who have

4s. My oldest daughter has identified and talked with two girls who

have it (one from middle school and the other from her high school).

My middle daughter has met this girl and is suspicious that one of

her teachers has it.

I know 2 children who have it from my daughter's old school, plus a

lot of adults.

Anyway, I could name 6 sufferers from at least 3 different schools in

just my area. The schools have about 1000 students each, so that is

about 1/500 students. So just by going by that sample of children (I

don't think we have an unusual " cluster " in our area) 1 out of every

500 people would give us at least 50 million people on Earth

suffering from it to some degree! Even if you said 1 per 1000,

that's still at least 25 million people which is way too many.

I think this is a major problem that people just limp through life

trying to deal with. I think once the exposure is out there through

our website and other things, it will be an explosion of people

wanting answers, and hopefully then the medical community won't be

able to ignore it any longer.
