Colin Farrell, the actor, has opened up about his son James, who has Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disorder causing severe developmental and neurological disabilities. Farrell is starting a foundation to support individuals with Angelman syndrome and other intellectual disabilities. The foundation aims to address the chronic underfunding and resource shortages in the Home and Community-Based Waiver system, which provides long-term support for individuals with disabilities. Farrell hopes to ensure that every person living with an intellectual disability has an enriched and meaningful existence within their own communities. [Extracted from the article]
