Superpower: Fighting Stereotypes
Sydney is a superhero. She was practically born with an “S” on her chest. While typical superheroes fight crime, Sydney is busy fighting stereotypes.
Internet searches for Angelman syndrome can bring up negative information. They might give you a list of things that some kids with Angelman syndrome can’t do, but there’s a lot Sydney CAN do. She can walk, run and swim like a fish. Not only does Sydney enjoy dancing to her favorite rock band, Sweet Lizzy Project, she will let you know exactly which song she wants to listen to! She can use an iPad to communicate what she wants for dinner. Even if it’s “trail mix” she can make a valid argument!
Sydney loves walking and running for the Special Olympics Track & Field Day. And she loves sharks.
