For much of his life, Jackson’s journey was defined by questions without answers.
He was eventually diagnosed with SYNGAP1-related disorder, a rare genetic condition that causes autism, intellectual disability, epilepsy, and developmental challenges. Like many families, we spent years searching for explanations, therapies, and ways to help him reach his potential.
Through EEGs and other evaluations, research happens to better understand SYNGAP1 and related neurodevelopmental disorders.
Research is not always easy for our families. It requires travel, patience, and trust. But every visit, every assessment, and every data point brings us one step closer to better treatments and a brighter future.
He may not know the impact he is making, but he is helping pave the way for generations of children and adults who will follow.
This is what hope looks like: families, researchers, clinicians, and advocates working together to turn understanding into treatments and treatments into possibilities.
