Words shape how the world sees people with Angelman syndrome and how they see themselves. When we choose people-first language, we honor individuals for who they are, not a diagnosis. Behind every word is a person with personality, family, likes/dislikes, and a whole life being lived. ✨ Words matter. Choose them carefully. #angelmansyndrome #angelmansyndromefoundation #angelman #AngelmanStrong #StrengthInCommunity #WordsMatter #PeopleFirst #inclusionmatters | Angelman Syndrome Foundation

The Angelman Syndrome Foundation is committed to supporting every individual, every step of the way. Introducing AS Grows Up: a movement dedicated to ensuring adults with Angelman syndrome have the resources they need to thrive. Growing up doesn’t mean growing out of support. It’s time to talk about what comes next. #angelmansyndrome #angelmansyndromefoundation #angelmanresources #angelman | Angelman Syndrome Foundation

There’s something truly special about walking into a space where you don’t have to explain—because everyone just gets it. 💙 The ASF Family Conference is more than sessions and speakers. It’s hugs in the hallway, kids finding instant friends, siblings feeling seen, and families realizing they can relax and be their authentic selves. ✨ What to expect: • 1,300 attendees • 200 individuals with Angelman syndrome • 450 siblings • 250 researchers, clinicians & industry partners • 50 speakers over 30 s
