    I'm so glad to see yall out of your boxes. 😂 I'll be ready to see this movie forsure.🏀 Bring on the love ❤ Emmy is literally a great name for a talented young woman who will surely be Emmy award winning in the future. 🏆 Brendan is definitely a wonderful addition to any movie, podcast, concert, play, and definitely podcast. He is one of the best 💙❤️💚 Keep spreading awareness.

    Prayers for everyone not feeling well 🙏🏽 Happy birthday Stella 🎂 🥳 🎉 A back to school podcast will be great. It's so tough in some kids to go back and get back into the schedule of things. Prayers for the family and teachers and students having to venture that this up coming school year. We DEFINITELY needed the footage of yall in your tomfoolery 😅 Thank yall for all the updates and spreading the awareness 💙❤️💚

    Let me just start by saying I almost didn't watch this episode. (Wasn't sure my emotions could handle it) I couldn't imagine losing a child. Obviously most of the viewers are here because of a person with WS so you automatically think of your WS blessing and it can hit hard. I just thought...... just start the video and see what happens, if it's too much you can stop and come back later or not. Thankful I thought that because while there were tears it was still very informative and gave a positive message and a message of hope. Thank you to both the mothers for sharing their experiences with us. ❤ keep raising awareness 💙❤️💚

    Micah was such a great guest with such wonderful and honest expierences. Love to hear the job life for adults with disabilities. I think it is very important for their lives to get experiences and learn task that give them independence and confidence. Not to mention the company is getting a wonderful employee😊

    I agree with Jen. Meeting others with Williams syndrome is such a amazing thing. You get all these stats, info, test, and search the web for more. I found watching videos of others with WS was very helpful. Of course everyone is different but it does give you a chance to better understand. 😊

    Love that Mike and his parents found out his diagnosis from 60 minutes. Speading awareness is truly life changing. CP can definitely go hand and hand with WS along with Autism. Many dual diagnoses. What a wonderful story. Mike and Jen seem like such kind people. The stars definitely aligned for them ✨️ 💙❤️💚

    What a wonderful episode. So much wonderful information and experience sharing. ❤️ As hard as it is to hear and share some tough stories it does get information out there on how others dealt with difficult situations. It hurts my heart to hear Brendan was bullied because he is such a awesome young man but it does show how you can overcome difficult times and still be awesome. Keep sharing and educating others. 💙❤️💚

    There is another reason we need to determine this and I need somebody to advise me on the first step to take is because I would love for my sister to be able to make friends with others who have Williams so she can finally find her own group in this lifetime .

    Thanks for reaching out. Due to the holidays, we have not seen your comments until today. Our website is always the best place to look first for resources. There are tests that doctors can order that are take-home swab tests, so your sister may not have to go downtown to get tested. I would ask your sister's doctors about that - specifically if she sees a cardiologist. I agree that it would be nice if she had a firm diagnosis so she could find a community and be eligible for some of the services and resources the WSA provides, but it is her choice if she would like to be tested. If you have any other questions, please contact me at [email protected]. Joel Liestman Director of Family Support
