Xavier is a happy 14 year old who loves Muppets and PBS Kids shows, playing with his magnet tiles, and going for walks with his parents and brother. He plays basketball and bocce with his school’s Unified Sports program and participates in the Special Olympics game day each spring.

Diagnosed with CTD at age 4 after several seizures and delays in speech, Xavier is making progress in academic and daily life skills with the help of a large and dedicated team of supportive adults. It has been a long and bumpy road. The Association for Creatine Deficiencies has been there for our family since the start of this journey. While we do not yet have any effective treatments for CTD, we hold onto hope as we see the progress that researchers are making in understanding CTD and testing therapies.

Your donation to ACD will support this ongoing research, as well as the family outreach and education that have been such a gift to our family.
