Local parent raises awareness about Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Awareness Day Oct 22

Friday, October 22 recognizes the Third Annual International Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Awareness Day so as to garner attention for PMS, a rare genetic condition affecting more than 2,500 people worldwide. It's estimated that one percent of people with autism have PMS, but many are undiagnosed. For Christy, Dave and adopted son Jack Hiller, this time of year is a special moment of remembrance.
