A mum who was diagnosed with Down’s syndrome aged 23 says people “don’t believe” she has the condition.
Ashley Zambelli was diagnosed with mosaic Down’s syndrome in February 2023 after undergoing genetic testing which revealed she has an extra chromosome.
Growing up, Ashley says she would struggle with knee dislocation, jaw issues affecting her movement of it, and a high heart rate.
Doctors never connected the issues until they looked at her reproductive history and saw three of her six pregnancies had a Down’s syndrome diagnosis.
