Description

Michael Bush is the father to Carson, an 18-year-old diagnosed with XXY at 15, and together, they want to inspire other young men and their parents to do a podcast. Carson shares his story, from being unable to talk about XXY to his love of teaching people about it. At the age of three, Carson hit his peak in growth, and by the time he was five, he started taking growth hormones. Around 12, Carson was experiencing mobility issues, and their family doctor thought he might have Heller and Danlos syndrome. Michael wants people to know that having a child with XXY is okay. Carson grew up being a normal child, riding bikes and playing outside. Michael also wants to encourage parents not to shelter their boys because of this diagnosis and says everyone will face challenges in life.
