What sort of support have you found useful from your family and friends? My family are amazing, to be honest with you. I have a very, very supportive family. Since my diagnosis, I now have cousins that are diagnosed, so I was the first one diagnosed in my family. And because it's a genetic condition, we know that it's come from my mum's side of the family. So I have cousins on my mum's side of the family that have now been diagnosed. but my family are absolutely amazing, they're an absolutely great support network, they're really really good and particularly my mum, she fought for everything to get me diagnosed and to actually figure out what was going on when I was a child.
