My Disability: 22q11 2 Deletion Syndrome

When I was born, I was diagnosed with a disability. My disability is 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. This disability affects the same chromosome of a Down syndrome child, but the patients of 22q11.2 are missing a different part of the twenty-second chromosome. In the past this disability wasn’t very common, nowadays this infirmity can be found in one in every four thousands births. I am a high functioning patient of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Some child could have seven brain surgeries by the time they’re one years old, some have feeding tubes, and some are bonded to a wheelchair for the rest of their lives; however, I am still affected by the disability.
This disability: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome works in many ways. According to Perelman School
