Farrell added that if anyone wanted to help they could visit CureAngelman.org to donate. He also discussed a bit more about his son and how he was diagnosed.
“It was actually when a doctor saw how happy he was,” Colin explained. “He was like, ‘Does he always smile this much?’”

Most children have short span of attention as well as hyperactivity are common. They can also have sleeping problems as well as needing less sleep than normal. Some individuals who are affected have light-colored hair as well as fair skin.
Those with AS as they age become less highly strung and the problems with sleep start to get better. But, these individuals will continue to have severe speech impairment, intellectual disability as well as seizures thru out their lives. Adults with AS have coarse features of the face. Some as well develop a side to side abnormal curvature of the spine known as scoliosis. The life span of those with AS seem to be near normal.
Some symptoms of AS include unstable, stiff, jerky gait, diminished or absent skills with speech, excessive laughter/unusually happy demeanor, hand flapping, small head size as well as developmental delay.
There is not any specific therapy for AS. Medical treatment for seizures is normally necessary. Occupational as well as physical therapies, therapy for communication as well as behavioral therapies are needed to allowing those with MS to reach their maximum potential development.
