Title: Community support, or the lack there of
Post by: emilyking on August 23, 2014, 06:49:36 AM
I've been trying to find online support groups for those who have AIS, and I have to say I'm really disappointed.  I found one, but it only had five posts in it.  There are a few who do email chains but I don't want to do that.

Having two different doctors agree that it looks like I have PAIS, I've been trying to find anyone with PAIS, who has transitioned or is gong through it, but nope. 

It really sucks, because I have no idea what to expect in the future, and in my case I have Albinism too.  Which has made things really weird, because my body is producing pigmentation.  Which should not be possible.

So, yeah.

FYI Jessica and others isna.org closed there doors in 2008  The material is outdated to find new up to date material and research you would want to look at the other two groups I mentioned in my previous post
