My son has a syndrome. When he was born they said he would never talk and die early. Well they were completely wrong. He talks has a normal IQ and is actually quite smart. He has no health problems either and have been cleared by the doctors that he will have a normal life span. He does have the tendency to gain weight easier than other people but with lots of exercise and a very good diet he is normal height and weight. How does this happen within a syndrome - to be so normal? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

He has a rare genetic syndrome. A chromosomal abnormality on chromosome 15. He is 4 years old. He swims independently and rides a bike (with training wheels) and knows all things like he should - What is possible for him

You say hes perfectly fine and I"ll tell you, I have neverheard of anyone with"high functioning syndrome". I wouldnt take stock in what the dr. so much as told me. Evidently hes doing fine so keep looking to the positive side. take care. bettyk

You forgot to mention the syndrome. Was your son born premature, low birth weight.... any other abnormality that was identified? How old is your son now?
More information is needed.
thanks.
