Our son already had a rare, life-changing condition. Then came our daughter’s diagnosis.
In 2014, our son Ethan was diagnosed with a rare condition called paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections, known by the acronym Pandas. The following year, our daughter, Autumn, was diagnosed with a different, but also rare, condition known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (also referred to as DiGeorge syndrome or VCFS). We knew nothing about either condition before diagnosis and now probably know more about both conditions than most doctors in the country.
