Born to two hippies in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK, I arrived with my usual subtlety on the 18th January 2002. After 5 weeks of shouting at them that I was still hungry, I was diagnosed with my heart condition. And all of the associated feeding problems that go with both that and AS. You have to pity them !
In August 02, I was admitted to Bristol Children's Hospital for corrective surgery on my ASD, VSD and valve defect. 10 days later I was giving the olds grief again. My secret was still mine alone. Not even the whitecoats knew of my future world dominating career choice.
My trouble making started early. Have you any idea how hard it is to make a molotov cocktail with SMA ?
I was assessed as having special needs by the whitecoats. I should say so- have you met my olds ? After some head scratching, I was sent for tests, including bloods for a genetics screen. Two weeks later, and I am officially an angel ! Let my secret out then why don't you !
Sometimes the olds don't realise how lucky they are to have someone of my status in their lives.
Of course I remind them now and again. Usually by getting away with murder, but then how could you refuse my smile ? Eh ?
With my syndrome related epilepsy under control since September 2004, I've been able to concentrate on growing up, and learning how to reach the top shelf of everything. Nobody ever seems to learn
In May 2004, I decided to launch this web-site to spread the word about how good it is to share your lives with an angel. I have also been able to spread my tips on how to cause anarchy in every household so blessed.
During the end of 2005, my olds decided that they could no longer compete for my hugs and separated. This means that they both get more ME time. Common sense if you ask me. I also now have two houses to explore.
My mum looks after me full time in Chippenham, Wiltshire, although I attend school full time. My dad works for the National Trust, looks after my web-site, is a trustee for Assert and a general geek. He lives in Swindon, Wiltshire. My grandparents live in Cornwall and Sheffield respectively. I can often be found flying down the M4 at weekends.
