Eitan Shay: "Gil's diagnosis was a crisis point, we were constantly looking for information about the syndrome and we could not find anything.
We went to few doctors who knew only a little bit.
We felt that we were not progressing, and that we want to talk to people like us and could not find them.
We established the association together with Efrat to connect people like us, and to give our children the best treatment possible "

Tamar Shay, Lawyer: "Approximately at the age of 6 months, we noticed that something was wrong, something with the way she was looking at things... She was making eye contact with me and with the bed and the chair and she smiled to everyone at the same way, there was no significant difference between me and inanimate objects. At the beginning all we wanted was to cure her. Later on we realized we love her just as she is, but we want a better quality of life for her "
