Reduced capacity, slight retardation, possible learning disabilities. What the heck does that mean? I keep stumbling across words like these when I try to read up on Abbe’s syndrome.
I asked Solveig (the 22q11-doctor, you know), when I met her at the 22q11 society meeting, about this.
– How common are learning disabilities in the 22q11 children, Solveig?
– I’ll be honest with you. More or less all of them have problems. Approximately 50% are classified as retarded to some extent, but all of them do have problems with learning.
Did I really want to know?
About this blog.
Abbe is the greatest little character. A fighter with a congenital heart defect. A sweetheart with a chromosomal aberration. These are my memos and thoughts from Abbes birth and on.

What does it mean?
"Heja Abbe & Brorsan" is Swedish and translates roughly into "Go Abbe & Bro". I didn't translate it because I kind of like the header the way it is.
Search Heja Abbe
