My BBS Story

Hi my name is Ryan, im 14 years old and have BBS1.  My main struggles are my weight and my vision, i also have been diagnosed with Autism and MR.  I got my genetic diagnoisis of BBS about 2 years ago.  I have night blindness and have negative 14 in both eyes meaning with corrective lenses im at a 20/80 in each eye. I get picked on at school alot and struggle daily with just fitting in with my peers. I pray one day that i can overcome this weight issue and feel better about my self and physically.  I pray that you all have an awesome day and that your BBS journey is the best that it can be.  Thanks for reading my Story, by the way my mom helped me type this. :)
