Introducing Austy Since being diagnosed with epilepsy at a young age, Austy’s journey has been one filled with courage and resilience. At four years of age, he began the ketogenic diet which, combined with medication, has helped him to lead a more stable life. While Austy still faces occasional absence seizures, these changes have meant that he hasn’t experienced a full tonic-clonic seizure in ten years.
Austy also has Snyder-Robinson Syndrome and GDD, which add their own unique challenges, but his strength and adaptability shine through. His journey has taught his family so much about epilepsy and the life-changing effects of diet.
This March, Austy and his family will Purple Up together with their favourite purple accessories to raise awareness and stand in solidarity with the epilepsy community.
Austy, you’re an inspiration!
