My child at 8 years old and her conditions from 2q37.3 are, seizures, autism, low muscle tone, thicken white brain matter, enlarged ventricles, lack of 4 digit knuckles in hands and feet, and low immune system. As far as her day to day life and how all those effect her, she is in a wheelchair, non-verbal, she eats via g-tube. She is also very musically gifted, has many songs memorized and hums the song to communicate. In the morning when she wants to get out of bed she'll hum "are you sleeping, are you sleeping, brother John..." for asking for affection she will hum "and a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too?". She's a sweet, happy girl! And if you Google 2q37.3 they all have a typical look in their faces, my girl falls in line with the common face features.

Chris I’m always amazed at how you instantly connect and interact with the kids. Watching you and Braleigh copying each other and communicating in that way was such a delight! I also love how while conducting these interviews you always focus on the person and their personalities as opposed to their diagnosis.

Some dogs are not good to have around kids because kids do stuff like that, but he is clearly suited for a household with kids. He seems comfortable around her, and she didn't do anything that could hurt him. If a dog is truly upset by something, they will let you know. I'm sure the parents would intervene well before something like that could happen, because she's otherwise gentle with Smoky.

I am so very thankful to you for teaching me over the years how to approach, not be afraid, and understand the people you advocate for. It allows me to be able to connect with my daughter in a way I would never have been able to otherwise. Your work is so important. Thank you

Such patience. I'm already getting initiated with the repetitive laughter ..imagine having a toddler and knowing that phase is never going to stop one day and finally be over. Its just going to always be like that even when she's 60.

She is precious! And looks so much like her dad. She has such joyful energy. And her bond with her pup is adorable. So sweet! Thanks for sharing Braleigh with us❤❤

She actually seems to understand what you guys are talking about, and wanting to understand and be a part of the normal conversation. Seems she also responds, but nobody reacts when she is pointing - it's like she is asking, I mean, and nobody telling her what it is, and what you are doing. Her sister is just the sweetest sister 💖💖💖

Her sister is so kind and patient with her for example when she took off her glasses twice she didn’t even bat an eye. I am so impressed by her wow . ❤

I love your channel and all of your amazing friends. So grateful that you are introducing them to us. Dancing with you and Braleigh 💝💃🎉

She’s such a funny person I love when she giggles.

I am so happy you keep this project going. The Mr. Rogers of our generation.

Smokey is just too cute! What a special bond those two have 😊

She has brought out the best in her parents. I hope she keeps her laughter and I hope life rewards her with much blessings and a awesome future.

What an amazing and adorable sense of humour she has. So clever how she uses that to connect with others. Braleigh is a gorgeous girl!

would have loved to learn a little more about how she’s similar and how she’s different from other kids her age :) she’s so playful and bubbly but it’s hard for me to envision what her day to day activities and functioning is like outside of school.

Braleigh is a special little girl. I love her laugh. She's so sweet and precious.

This is another exceptional family with exceptional children. They each exemplify the highest love and happiness that each of us is able to create. So does Chris! I would be very happy to just get to know them better. I won't forget them and will seek to keep sending them all the love and happiness I can create to them through God All Loving and All Wise.

Her connection with Smokey is so charming!! I love how they've clearly bonded. Pets are amazing, I don't know how I would get through tough times without my pets.

Ребят, скажите мне: где мы свернули не туда, если инвалидность у нас вызывает умиление, а счастливый детский смех заставляет задуматься о по-настоящему важном, только если издает его глубоко недееспособный малыш без шансов на нормальную жизнь? Почему в нашем мире слово "инвалидность" становится синонимом слову "счастье". Поймите правильно, очень важно относиться к непохожим на остальных людей с пониманием, но вам не кажется, что делать вид, будто они точно такие же как остальные - это лицемерие?
