At just three months old, Mason was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome when his parents took him in for genetic testing. This rare disease of the nervous system typically occurs in 1 in 15,000 births, and can cause movement and balance problems, as well as speech impairment and other symptoms.
“I hope for the best life possible for my son and everyone in the Angelman syndrome community,” said Mason’s mom. “There are hopes for a cure, which would be amazing if one is found, but I just hope that he can independently do some things, like eating on his own, that we all take for granted.”
