| My name is Jemma Collins and I am 16 years of age. I was diagnosed with SMA, type III at the age of 2½. I have never looked at myself as being 'disabled'. I always look at what I can do and not at what I can't. My Mum and Dad have always encouraged me to do things that people say I can't do. |

| I have been asked to talk about type 3 life experiences, obviously an older person's experience. One of the many hurdles people, including myself, have to overcome when you have any type of SMA, is coming to terms with your diagnosis. With type 3 this sometimes doesn't happen until adulthood. |
