I think she is reasonably happy. She sometimes notices that she seems to have more problems and take more medicine than other children do, so she has asked about that. She may need surgery to fix her renal reflux and her scoliosis, which I wonder if she would be able to handle, especially the scoliosis surgery because she would need to be in a halo vest for a couple of months after that surgery. She has autism, not AS, so she has pretty severe sensory issues and she has very little impulse control, although she is very smart in many ways. We had orthotic braces for her feet, which she was supposed to sleep in to help her bunions, but we could not keep them on her feet at night because she would keep taking them off.
