10 Symptoms of Turner Syndrome

7. Social Challenges

Many Turner syndrome patients have difficulty socializing with their peers. Cognitive and physical differences may lead to isolation in some cases, especially in girls who struggle with self-esteem issues over their unique appearance. Consequently, students with Turner syndrome can sometimes have trouble fitting in with peers and making friends. However, patients also have difficulty recognizing social cues, including body language, which can make it difficult for them to carry on socially appropriate conversations at times. They may also experience behavioral issues, such as hyperactivity, which can create additional social challenges.
