March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. American society has come a long, long way in its treatment of people with developmental disabilities, yet when some parents hear that type of diagnosis, their heart might fall. They might hear ignorance from uninformed people that could make them despair. But there a so very many people with developmental disabilities who have gone on in life to become extremely well-recognized, very accomplished, well-respected and famous. This is part one of a series of people who you will recognize, all of which were diagnosed with varying types of developmental disabilities.
