My sister has
Goldenhar Syndrome and I love her more than anything in the world, and I was just wondering how many other people here have siblings or relatives/friends with Diabilities, I dont mean disabilities such as arthritis in the ankle or anything, I mean birth defects and such, like Down syndrome. I would just be interested in knowing how common they are and how people deal with it, as I know that it can be very difficult at times to cope with it.
The link above gives a brief explanation of the syndrome, but doesnt explain all other possible defects.
For those interested, here is a picture of my sister.
She doesnt look it, but she turns 16 in a couple of weeks, as dad says, "it doesnt bother me, we can get her into the movies cheaper"
And if your one of those people who think people with these defects shouldnt be part of society, please dont add anything to this thread.
