GROWING UP WITH MICHAEL (1/2): STRENGTHS, RISKS, DEATH

The Chromodiversity™ Podcast di My XXY | Chromodiversity™ Foundation

Note sull'episodio

🟢 "A premature death that could've been avoided in so many ways." Gary Glissman, ex-Chairperson of AXYS, tells the heartbreaking story of his son Michael, diagnosed with an Extra X at the age of 24 and found dead earlier this year at the age of 37.

In this first of two episodes, you'll hear what Michael was like growing up, the challenges he faced as an adult and the circumstances of his death.

You'll also hear how what might seem to be initially minor challenges in children can result in compounding health, social and professional issues... with irreversible - sometimes fatal - consequences.

Gary has agreed to speak out is to convey a simple, urgent message: that the absence of systematic early screening, intervention and support of common genetic differences comes at unacceptably high cost.
