<p>this is off the main topic a little bit, but I would argue that there are small, nurturing careers and adult lifestyles. There are jobs with more flexible schedules, that involve working in quiet environments, with relatively few people, etc. It’s possible to live in a small town (or a city that provides for relative anonymity, if that’s preferable) or close to supportive family members or whatever. I wonder if there are career/life coaches that specialize in working with people with LDs (there must be–otherwise it’s a great niche for someone to fill!) I know it’s not your priority now, but I bet it’s possible for the future.</p>
<p>Also, one thing to look at is a school where a lot of students stay in the area after graduation–even if it’s a place far from where you live now. Your D will have 4 years to get used to the place and would have a ready-made support network when she graduates. It was hard for me to graduate and see my friends scatter–I think in that regard my sister had it easier because so many of her classmates stayed in the same city with her.</p>
