Remember Augie the kid from wonder, the kid who was different from others as we remember he had a facial disease that gave him low self-confidence. There are many face disorders/Diseases, but there is a special one called Treacher Collins syndrome. This syndrome has many affects like hearing loss, vision problems, as well as an abnormal face. It is a genetic issue that affects but apart from this these kids have to face and even more deadly problem, dealing with emotions. Some kids who have this rare type of disorder. But does this syndrome actually affect kids’ emotion along with the face? While this disorder affects the child's facial appearance and gives them poor hearing, it also affects the child emotionally.
Treacher Collins syndrome also has a diagnosis like the other ones but it can be discovered when the baby is in the stomach but it relies on clinical radio graphic findings. Sometimes the signs of this syndrome can be found when the baby is in the stomach. To be diagnosed the doctor would have to examine the baby carefully so signs are discovered. It is suspected to be a ribosomopathy (Any disease or malfunction of ribosomes or cell organelles that consist of RNA and proteins ), where a genetic abnormally causes impaired ribosome biogenesis & function resulting in a special clinical prototype.
Management is one of the most important things for parents to consider because the parent has to know how to prevent the child from having low self-esteem and to make the right educational choices for the child because signs of low self-esteem could lead to hurt feelings. The parents also need to know a lot in order to overcome the other difficulties of this syndrome.

Due to the abnormal bone formation the eyes are slightly tilted so the Person has a difficulty seeing or known as vision problems. Due to the slanted eyes it is hard for those people who have this syndrome to see the also have droopy misshaped eyes with notched lower lids absent lower eyelashes absent floor of the eye sockets
Because of the smaller earlobe this symptom causes hearing loss for the people who have it. The hearing loss is one of the most critical side effects of treacher Collins syndrome. Hearing losses can also lead to educational difficulties and major speech delay.
People who face this syndrome have all sorts of problems including; vision, hearing, speech, facial problems suffer from Treacher Collins syndrome. This syndrome can lead to many symptoms and if can cause emotional problems too.
Tay-Sachs disease is a rare hereditary disease found mainly in infants but is also found in juveniles and adults. It is caused by the abnormal metabolism of fats and is characterized by mental deterioration, blindness, and paralysis. There is no available treatment for this disease.
The range and severity of symptoms and findings may be extremely variable, including among affected members of the same family. However, primary findings may include premature closure of the fibrous joints between certain bones of the skull, unusually flat, underdeveloped midfacial regions abnormally broad great toes, and/or malformation or fusion of certain bones within the feet. In some cases, Jackson-Weiss Syndrome may result from new genetic changes that appear to occur randomly for unknown reasons. In other affected individuals, the disorder may be inherited. Mutations in the FGFR2 gene cause Jackson–Weiss syndrome. The FGFR2 gene produces a protein called
The symptoms of Rett syndrome can vary dramatically from one person to another. This is why a wide range of disabilities are associated with Rett syndrome. The symptoms often appear in stages. Not all individuals affected by it will experience all of the
While Waardenburg Syndrome cannot be cured, treatments can be given to lessen the effects. Like other diseases, Waardenburg Syndrome has certain symptoms, inheritance patterns, diagnosis and treatments. Waardenburg Syndrome affects a person’s hearing, pigmentation, facial features, along with other defects. There are also four different types of Waardenburg Syndrome. The chances of hearing loss can be slim to none, although people with Waardenburg Syndrome can have profound hearing loss (Genetics 2013).
...ve Achondroplasia. Clinical laboratories have available testing for the FGFR3 gene. When a child is diagnosed with Achondroplasia, parents should look for changes in bowel or bladder function, muscle weakness, and asymmetrical reflexes or respiratory problems. Many babies with Achondroplasia have troubles with repeating ear infections. Some may need ear tubes, which are placed into the ear to allow air in the middle ear to help lower the chances of ear infections. Without these tubes, the baby could lose its hearing. The spinal cord can also get compressed, making the upper airway obstructed, and increasing the risk of death for the baby. People with Achondroplasia also have breathing problems, during this breathing either stops or slows down for short amounts of time. ("GeneFacts")

Angelman syndrome has symptoms that can be easily mistaken for cerebral palsy or autism. Symptoms of the disorder include developmental delay, lack of speech, seizures, walking and balance disorders, sleep disturbances, hyperactivity, and frequent laughter or smiling. If a baby or child is diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, they will require life-long care due to the fact that there is no cure. Due to having similarities with autism and cerebral palsy, Angelman syndrome is often misdiagnosed. Misdiagnoses are a prevalent problem today, which can also lead to late diagnoses as well.
The symptoms of cri du chat syndrome diverge between people. The unpredictability of the medical symptoms and growing delays may be linked to the magnitude of the deletion of the 5p arm. The scientific symptoms of cri du chat syndrome frequently contain a high-pitched cat-like cry, psychological retardation, late development, characteristic facial structures, small head size (microcephaly), widely-spaced eyes (hypertelorism), low birth weight and weak muscle tone
Having certain eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness or myopia also makes you a candidate for developing this eye condition. Anyone who has corneas which are thin in the center is also vulnerable. Those who have suffered with an eye injury, or undergone an eye surgery, are also at higher risk.
The third common type is Asperger's syndrome. This syndrome is defined as a condition that causes difficulties in communication and using imagination (4). In other words, people with Asperger's syndrome find it difficult to socially interact with others and have a normal conversation. Moreover, they may not understand a person's facial expressions and body language; therefore, they feel confused and anxious. People with Asperger's syndrome love routines. For example, a man may insist on completing a task in a specific order. Furthermore, a child may feel sad because of a change in the class schedule. Also, showing strong obsessive interest in a hobby is one of the characteristics of Asperger's syndrome. It appears that this syndrome affects males more than females. Like Down syndrome and Turner syndrome, Asperger's syndrome does not have a cure, and the role of treatment is to improve the patient's
My son is one of the children that had lasting effects from this disease. He suffers from a sensory disorder that was caused by my postpartum depression after he was born. It caused him to not recognize certain emotions that are needed to function normally in society. Since he never really saw a happy smiling face that most mothers had towards their children after birth; all that he saw was me crying all of the time. I recall leaving him in his crib or just holding him and crying while he nursed. His father was gone working all of the time, and rarely home. He didn't learn to recognize those social cues of happiness.
One way to improve self-esteem in middle and late childhood is by helping children understand their emotions and managing stress. Developmental changes occur during this stage, thus, making understanding emotions an important concept to learn. If children feel insecure about their emotions, they may have difficulty identifying emotions and could have a lower
Most individuals are either related to or know someone who is effected by some type of disability. Many of these disabilities are caused by genetic disorders. Genetic disorders may alter physical appearance and cause mild to severe mental retardation. Fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, Turners syndrome and many other syndromes result from a mutation of a chromosome, an extra chromosome, or too few chromosomes.
My younger brother has had low self-esteem since he was in elementary school. Starting at a young age, he never did well in school and never felt like he was good enough. This caused a downward spiral with his education and his confidence. His repeated academic failure caused him to give up on school. My parents turned to teachers and his pediatrician for advice. The pediatrician said that he would just grow out of it. Even though it did
Candy, it tastes good but it is bad for the teeth. Medicine, it tastes horrible but it does good for the body. Both items show off good and bad features. The clubs in Centennial Christian School, or CCS for short, also have their good and bad. Using rhetorical strategies it is evident that there are flaws in these clubs but the students and teachers are able to overcome using theirs strengths. It is the students that make up the clubs and not the clubs themselves because of the background CCS carries.
