AS affects both sexes and all races equally. Colin Farrell is also an Angelman parent, and the actor recently started a foundation in honor of his son James, who turns 21.
James "has worked so hard all his life, so hard," Farrell told People. "Repetition, balance, his jerky gait... I'm proud of him every day, because I just think he's magic."
While the brains of children with AS are completely normal and anatomically correct, a genetic microdeletion on the 15th chromosome causes massive global delays, including debilitating seizures, mobile and motor affliction, loss of functional speech, dyspraxia.
