Má fáthmheasadh do leanbh maidir le siondróm nó riocht neamhchoitianta, tá líon eagraíochtaí ann ar féidir leo faisnéis agus tacaíocht a thabhairt duit.
D’fhéadfadh suaitheadh mór a bheith ort má bhíonn neamhord neamhchoitianta ar do leanbh agus d’fhéadfadh a lán mothúchán éirí ionat dá bharr. Chomh maith leis sin, d’fhéadfadh sé fonn a spreagadh ionat níos mó eolais a fháil faoin riocht atá ar do leanbh. Tá eagraíochtaí ann ar féidir leo thú a chur i dteagmháil le teaghlaigh a bhfuil leanbh acu faoin riocht céanna, nó le teaghlaigh a bhfuil leanbh acu faoi riochtaí neamhchoitianta eile agus b’fhéidir go mbeadh na heispéiris chéanna ag na teaghlaigh seo agus atá agat féin.

If your child has been diagnosed with a rare syndrome or condition, there are a number of organisations that can give you information and support.
Having a child with a rare disorder can be a huge shock and can stir up many emotions as well as a desire to learn more about your child's condition. There are organisations who can put you in touch with families who have a child with the same condition, or with families of children with other rare conditions who may be having similar experiences to you.
