When did you realise that you were different from other people, and was this something that you had to overcome?

What has it been like for you growing up? How do you deal with the negative side that people can show towards the way you are?

You're still so young, but you have a really mature positive attitude about it which is absolutely fantastic. Do you plan to be an advocate for this disorder to raise awareness and progress in research?

Also... did you ever play pokemon? and if so, are you looking forward to the new ORAS games? (doesn't need to be answered if you're not interested)

Pokemon yay! I just preordered Alpha Sapphire today so i'm a bit obsessed :D

School isn't really for everyone, and I do mean that, but don't let that stop you from doing anything that you want. Advocating just by helping others deal with their disorder, helping families or joining community groups can be really beneficial for you and others who might be struggling.

It's really good to hear that you had a good childhood and normal friendships. I have a few people i know with down syndrome who weren't so lucky throughout school, but now they have really good friends. Kids can be especially cruel.

Good luck in the future! Thanks so much for doing this AMA.

They're actually so good. I bought X first last year on release date and it was absolutely amazing, I hadn't played any games since Silver either and then my friends said I should just play it so I did. Absolutely stunning and beautiful game, and so much to do/explore.

and No worries!
