When mother Patricia Williams learned her son Redd had albinism, she was taken aback.
He was diagnosed with Oculocutaneous albinism type 1 after being born with blue eyes and white hair. When Redd was two months old, Patricia and her husband, Dale, became aware of it.
For a formal diagnosis, they saw optometrists and geneticists. Rockwell, their second son, was born in 2018 and is likewise albino. Regrettably, cruel internet memes have been created using Rockwell’s images.
Redd’s appearance caused him to be teased at school, but his family went on to become activists for the understanding of albinism.
Both sons are thriving and leading happy lives despite obstacles.
Any comments?
