Abbie and Ruby share an extraordinary way of communicating with each other, mainly because Ruby is unable to walk or talk as she suffers from H-ABC (Hypomyelination with Atrophy of Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum), which affects certain parts of the brain and it tends to worsen as time passes.
But Ruby can surely enjoy these special moments together with her dear friend Abbie. Her condition does not come in the way of them communicating with each other and sharing a joke at times.
It is a rare condition, and there are less than 100 people in the world who suffer from H-ABC. According to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the rare genetic disorder progressively damages the nervous system.
It affects two parts of the brain, the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, which helps in controlling the body’s movement and actions.
