I was actually diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis when I was nine years old. My mother is a nurse and works for our city's health department. She started to notice that I was not acting like a normal nine year old kid.My twin sister started growing much taller than me and my growth seemed to stop. I was forgetting my math facts in school and everyday when I came home I would lay down on the couch and fall alseep. I always remember her waking me up for dinner and me wanting to do nothing but sleep. One of the major symptoms I did not present was weight gain. She recognized the symptoms right away and took me to and endocrinologist as soon as possible. So it's not to young of an age to be diagnosed with a thyroid disorder because anyone can be diagnosed. Your best bet is to have her levels checked again.
