What We Know

Jill has been diagnosed with something called Childhood Ataxia with White Matter Disease. If you look it up on the internet you will see many different types or strains of this disease. It's very complex. It is also very serious. White Matter in your brain is what basically controls your motor functions, vision, speech, thought process, etc. Those of you who know Jill will understand now why she acts a certain way. She tends to be a bit clumsy, she wears glasses that are stronger than mine, and she tends to have some difficulty expressing her thoughts. Now we know why.

Jill was thought to have ADHD which was diagnosed back in 1st Grade due to her lack of attention during class and going off-task. That has since been debunked. It is and never was ADHD.
