Adam, 7 years old
Thanks to Claire, Adam's mother, for spontaneously offering to share her experience with you. It bears witness with simplicity and generosity to Adam's journey and the daily life of the family.

JONTE, 4 and a half years old
"Life might be less tiring if I hadn't met you. But it wouldn't be my life." Erich Fried
Find the moving testimony of Mareike and her husband Jens. They live in Germany and their little Jonte carries a mutation in the MYT1L gene.
They have created a German site on this syndrome linked to the MYT1L gene and are in contact with Dr Mortiz Mall who has been carrying out basic research on this gene since 2012 with a dedicated team since 2018.
Find Dr Mall's interview and the testimony of Jonte's parents on the site https://myt1l.de/ (German site)
Thank you Mareike and Jens for this sharing, thank you for connecting the countries for each of those we tenderly call our Valiants.

TESTIMONY
Alice, 9 and a half years old
Our daughter Alice is 9 and a half years old. We had the diagnosis 2 years ago now. Although we had been struggling for answers for several years, the announcement of the rare genetic disease was a thunderclap, a collapse, the unknown when we hoped so much to know, to have a vision of what the aftermath of our daughter.
It was seeing Alice crunch life, curious and relentless, remembering all her progress over the past years that was a driving force at that time, and the words of our geneticist:
- "It's not degenerative"
- "We don't know… go ahead, go on!" If it has to stop one day, we will see at that time, in the meantime move forward, continue, she is progressing. »
We continued with everything we had in place for Alice so far. We already had a history of 5 years of fighting to obtain a diagnosis, appropriate care, to make heard, not only the difficulties to compensate, but ALL of Alice's skills, and the field of possibilities for her.
With the diagnosis came contact with other families in France and internationally. The heterogeneity of the situations, the needs, the expectations, the worries, the hopes, the struggles... all this contributed, with the consequent work on the gene by the genetic team of the CHU of Rouen and the meeting of a Rouennaise family , to the creation of the association Les Extra-Vaillants MYT1L.

TESTIMONY
We are the parents of Alice, 9 years old. Alice is a carrier of MYT1L syndrome.
A vestibular and proprioceptive disorder prevents Alice from performing activities such as tobogganing, enjoying certain rides, climbing a wall bar, riding a pony, skiing, cycling, descending an escalator or climbing open steps….
And yet her determination is still such that she took up the challenge of skiing brilliantly and not without emotion!
Alice obtained her Blanchot in the snow garden, and discovered the pleasure of skiing without coordination or other constraints, thanks to chair skiing.
Just the pleasure of sliding on the slopes, taking the chairlift and the gondola, and going to greet the peaks.
A family sharing with an extraordinary instructor: thank you again Thomas!
