“I was surprised by how much Jasper got out of MSAD. As a confident, bright and outgoing kid I have always felt that he just took the condition in his stride. Whilst I believe in spreading awareness, I never realized the impact having a MSAD would have on Jasper personally. The pride in his face from being the Moebius Syndrome Holiday Hero on January 24th was incredible- it dawned on me then that MSAD was important for him because it gave him the opportunity to celebrate who he is BECAUSE of Moebius syndrome not despite it. I have always tried to ensure that Jasper never feels as though he is deficient or that he needs ‘fixing’, MSAD helped to consolidate this.” – Lauren Broadhurst, Australia.
