This is really tough to watch in many places but is sensitively done (despite the title). I'm not a parent, but I cant imagine how his mother and father dealt with some of the bad days. Presumably there will still be some more, but hopefully things are looking up for them all.
The boy (Dillon) is as nice a kid as you could ever see and the point in the programme where he comforts his Mum is quite moving. Good luck to them all. Hopefully the challenge will be a good preparation for other life events and he'll be a great success.

There's an actor named Adam Pearson with the same condition but it's on his face. He also has a twin brother who has it elsewhere on his body (I can't remember where now).
Anyway, Pearson did a documentary about discrimination in which he also discussed his problems with it. It was very interesting and brought up a lot of things that had never occurred to me. It really made me think.
The name of it escapes me but it was on BBC and maybe still on iPlayer.

I watched a little of this, but ultimately it felt a little voyeuristic to me and I stopped.
All credit to the lad and his mother (I didn't see much of the father in what I watched), who came over as decent, thoughtful and caring people, but I felt it was just too intrusive on a very private issue, personally.
