#RareDiseaseDay25
Just got word that #RareDiseaseDay25 was canceled rather than postponed. I am so sad for the patients who were looking forward to feeling seen and understood at this event. I am sad for the organizers who worked so hard to plan it and now won't be able to see their event come to fruition.

In Deutschland gibt es 4 Millionen Menschen mit einer seltenen Erkrankung.
Ich bin einer davon. Es hat über 10 Jahre zur Diagnose gebraucht. Ich glaube nicht daran,das sich irgendwas verbessert. 🤷

#Language is our ability to understand & express ourselves using vocabulary & grammar.

In some rare genetic conditions, like Phelan-McDermid syndrome, the size of an individual’s genetic deletions correlates with their language ability.
