Atypical autism is not a sentence. 5

When a child is left without parents, he is called an orphan. And how to name parents who have lost a child? In nature, there is no correspondence, probably because no words can convey the grief and despair that overwhelm the soul at that moment. Ganchuk’s spouses are such parents. They lost their first child, but later fate gave them twins. Unfortunately, the girl was sick...

When a child is left without parents, he is called an orphan. And how to name parents who have lost a child? In nature, there is no correspondence, probably because no words can convey the grief and despair that overwhelm the soul at that moment. Ganchuk’s spouses are such parents. They lost their first child, but later fate gave them twins. Unfortunately, the girl was sick...

During childbirth, something went wrong, and little Olesia remained disabled for the rest of her life. It is bitter to understand that the life that was about to come into the world changed at one moment. Already later, the girl was diagnosed with atypical autism, mental retardation, microcephalic syndrome, systemic underdevelopment of speech of the first degree, dysarthria, mild myopia, Babinsky syndrome, and moderate ventricular microcephaly. Despite this, the doctors gave hope that Olesia would be able to live fully because these diagnoses are not a sentence.

Now the girl is on the way to recovery. She underwent 12 courses of treatment, after which she learned to sit on her own, stand up, crawl and stand at the support, Olesia became more attentive and sensible. To go further along this path, the girl needs to continue treatment, but her parents do not have the money. Help Olesia stand up and say the most important word: mom! Support our project, and together we will be able to send this wonderful girl to a new rehabilitation course at the "Priorytet" center.
