When it began

I am not sure it began, But it was school day I was expected come down and start a day of school. However that day I was feeling not 100% I was feeling hot, I was feeling it as if I got up I would pass out. I had my blanket removed from me which happens often at my home its not uncommon, they want me go school pronto. I don't think that ever happened to my siblings..
But I had blanket removed and eventually pillow removed would follow. I have to go down and eat breakfast which is normal thing you do. But me taking my pillow down...might made my mom worry...

Bringing to breakfast table. Going sleep and not waking I felt hot. She must felt so worried and had call ambulance...
Because I didn't wake up..next instance I woke from my pass out, I was informed by grumpy doctor telling I am retarded and I am tonic clonic. Okay so you know if your doctor don't tell person this otherwise what you do to their life existence...it ends. My nerves were over done maybe he should told me and took my mom aside...instead they treated me like I couldn't understand things...

Well to be more exact next tonic clonic that child might just commit suicide if they hear the words retarded you have no idea what goes other kids...heads when see child "ready to get bullied". perfect excuses to vilify and torture another person just because they don't understand what hell is going on.

It has me have anxiety whenever I try go for more education kind "feel" deer in headlights see car but will evade or get struck by it.

To find out I had Trisomy X it like getting cold slap of water but worst...it explains I had rare percentage receiving something so odd..yet no one knew what hell it was until now Oh my god...I kind lived lie for so long I kind want to know more if my genetic traits can transferred to any children I make in future. Or will get recessive gene?

It might help whoever plans to a path for future with me.
