Yesterday I shared Daelyn's interview. She is one of only a few people in recorded history diagnosed with her ultra-rare genetic condition, a disorder of the FBXW11 gene. She communicates by repeating lines from her favorite TV shows and movies and has developed a language that’s uniquely her own.
Daelyn has learned to communicate by practicing speech on her pets, which includes horses and a kangaroo. It was amazing to watch her talk to these animals and made me reflect on the benefits of an animal/human bond. These animals provide Daelyn a judgement free zone to practice speech without the anxiety that can come from human to human interaction. They allow her to practice while receiving unconditional acceptance and love. I hope you enjoyed watching Daelyn's interview as much as I did recording it!
