Today you'll meet Ada.

I'll allow Ada's Mom to tell you a bit about Ada:

Ada has Phelan-McDermid Syndrome: very rare genetic disorder caused by deletion/mutation of shank 3 gene.  Only 1700 known cases but believed to be highly under diagnosed.    No cure and life long symptoms include: little to no verbal abilities, hypotonia (low muscle tone), intellectual disabilities, PICA, seizures, autism symptoms, GI issues, sleep difficulties    Ada is our angel baby magical  fairy mermaid who marches to the beat of her own drum and teaches many wise lessons along the way. She will never be defined by pms rather she rises above her challenges through her love of authenticity, music, water, cuddles and awesome people.     World of Mae (WOM) was created in her honor...follow Ada’s journey on Facebook or Instagram: @fairystrong.   WOM is committed to always celebrate people of ALL abilities while spreading hope, understanding and awareness through Ada’s fairy beauty;)
