About Angelman Syndrome
On May 7, 2001 my son was born with Angelman Syndrome. This disorder affects many different areas of development. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to:
- severe global developmental delay
- lack of speech
- apparent happy demeanor
- seizures, usually by the age of 3
- movement/balance disorder
- feeding problems in infancy
- sleep disturbance
- sensitivity to heat
- excessive chewing/mouthing behavior
Angelman Syndrome(AS) is often misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy and autism, because not many people have heard of it. This includes doctors. That is why I feel it is important to bring about awareness of Angelman Syndrome. Even if only one person is made aware of the disorder, that's one step closer to someone being properly diagnosed, and another step closer to recognition. If you feel the same, why not join and paste a code on your website?
