Where do you live? I currently live in the state of Ceará, in the sunny northeast of Brazil.

Education/Work? I am in the 5th semester of Social Work, and in the future, I may even try to study Psychology. There are many difficulties related to FA, but I still believe that I can have a professional life.

When and how were you diagnosed? I learned about having FA when I was about 13. I have an older brother who had already been diagnosed with FA. So, as soon as my first symptoms appeared, my mother realized that I also had the syndrome.
