3 things I learned from my intellectually disabled son | Emilie Weight | TED Institute

[@whiskeyinthejar8197]

Thanks very much for taking the time to do this talk. I came from the Fragile X UK site and read all the work and testing that goes into making a TED talk...amazing, but that's why they are such good quality I guess. I have an early diagnosis of FXTAS, but few symptons yet as I had the genetic text and MRI by chance because of another condition - but was lucky to have a very good neurologist. But I also have a son who is Autistic, and also has a very serious heart condition (HLHS). Like your son, he has taught us a lot, and is insightful way beyond his fourteen years. I don't mean insightful like a normal adult would be, which is probably not very much really - more like Zen Master.
