Annie Campbell is Ollie's mother, a child who suffers from angelman syndrome, for which he always smiles, and always explains that when he was a baby they were surprised that he was such a cheerful and cheerful child. In all the photos he appeared smiling, he always had a laugh on his lips and everyone who knew Ollie was fascinated by his happiness.
However, when he was six months old, his mother realized that he was not doing the same things as his older brother. He seemed to be falling behind, and he noticed that something was wrong when one afternoon he spent more than an hour trying to get Ollie to follow his finger with his eyes, without getting it.
The next morning he went to the doctor to explain it to him and from there they were referred to the hospital for the relevant studies. The doctors told him that Ollie had some neurological disorder, but they were not able to give it a name. Then they sent Ollie to a new hospital to continue testing, when Annie, investigating on her own, found a medical journal where they talked about angelman syndrome, and he realized that the symptoms explained fit with those of his son. Two days later the doctors diagnosed him. From then on he began to investigate and seek support and help to know the disease in depth and to know how to help your child.
He angelman syndrome It is a rare genetic disorder, which was first identified in 1965 by a British doctor named Harry Angelman. The good doctor noticed similarities in a small number of children without previous diagnosis that made him think they had a common problem. One day, looking at a painting in the museum Castelvecchio from Verona, in Italy, titled A boy with a puppet He had the idea of writing an article talking about these children, children who always smiled and children who had a developmental deficit that made them move, in a way, like puppets. That is why he decided to speak the "Happy Puppet Syndrome", which in 1982 became known as angelman syndrome.
It is estimated that there are about 1,000 cases in Britain and his mother, Annie, is worried about how to know when Ollie is angry, or worried, because he always smiles. Now she is two years old and in the background she admits that for the moment she is very happy to have such a lovely and smiling son.
