The story of Brooklynn Holloway
Brooklynn was diagnosed with Phelan McDermid Syndrome at the age of 13. Up to that point she has received a diagnosis of autism but it never seemed to truly describe who she was. Brooklynn didn’t feel pain, hot/cold or even wet/dry. She could eat and never get full. But she was also extremely smart with an amazing memory. We sought out to find a category that better fit her, and received this diagnosis. Everything just seemed to fall into place!
