My twin sister had an ED as a 5th grader, I don’t remember any teacher talking to her. My teacher talked to ME and expressed concern because she looked unwell. My sister credits me with somewhat startling her out of her most restrictive behavior about 8 weeks into her patterns because I said I was going to tell our mom everything I had seen. I was preoccupied with my first crush, but he commented to me in a caring way that he was concerned her doing an independent study project on Anorexia for our gifted program had given her an ED. He was not wrong! I won’t pretend she didn’t have more problems after my intervention moment with her but we did talk to my parents and slowly but surely she improved over the next couple years. (Side note- the first boy I ever really liked was opposing counsel as Attorney general in a federal case with my dad a couple years ago and he kept raving about what a great attorney he was for months and I kept saying yeah I always liked him too! When we were 11! 😛)
