I am proud to announce that i am honored and happy that i am part of this, I am Heather Kylene, and i have a story to tell you all.
I was born on October 1st 1978. Libra.
I have learned over the years of my disability, I have mosaic down syndrome. This is a rare type of down syndrome. There are two other types Translocation (nondisjunction) and trisomy 21. The creator Robert Lange Down, had learned and discovered a third type. And that is Mosaicism Down Syndrome. I was very sick when i was a baby, and for the past couple of years i have been sick and my mom couldn't find what was wrong with me. not even the doctor that delivered me either. it actually did take some time to discovered about that extra chromosome. The doctor that delivered my baby brother 4 years later 1982. Eric my brother was very sick as well too. And when he asked my mom if there was someone else in the family that was sick too, and that's when mom mention me. and when i was being tested for my sickness, the doctor did a chromosome test, and he had discovered an extra chromosome.
For years I have struggled, and with my learning skills as well. I don't always get it right away. it takes me a little time as well to finally figure it out. sometimes i don't always feel like a normal person. But i do okay. I don't have many friends. My family is passed, my parents and my brothers. it's just me now and my younger sister too. We don't talk because its a long story ok.
I've also have done special Olympics. I have done that for many years now, and had officially retired. Do i miss it, yes of course i do. Do i want to return to the sport? of course. question is how? my mom has always done that for me.
Do i have any tattoos or piercing? yes. My ears of course. And yes on the tattoos. I have always like. and have thought about and now i have 14 total of tattoo's I really wasn't expecting to have this many. i only wanted two tattoo's. but it's like what they say, once you have it and you want to say no more. But i keep getting more. I have to stop now. my latest one is recent and its a best friend quote tattoo, " There are two friends, in one soul of two bodies."
in my conclusion: Be kind to one another
