Natalie Watson shares her experience as a Rare Bird mom from Australia in a discussion about loving, losing and honoring the legacy of her late sons, William and Hamish, who were diagnosed with ADSL Deficiency in 2010. Interspersed with Rare Birds community poll results, the conversation delves into topics including early signs of the disorder, the creation of the Facebook Support Group “Our Journey with ADSL Deficiency” and how it has advanced research into the disorder, paving the way for the formation of Rare Birds Foundation. Referencing her recently published memoir Bigger Than My Body, the discussion is both deeply personal yet universal to the experience of loving a Rare Bird with ADSLD.
