How does CFS affect children?
One of the special aspects of CFS in children is that their self-image and their sense of their own abilities do not develop in a normal fashion, because they have little or no memory of their pre-CFS abilities. This surely plays an important and negative role in their personal development. An information packet named “CFIDS In Children” is available for $5.50 from the CFIDS Association (see address under question 5.06).
