A Personal Look at Kllnefelter Syndrome

1 I was diagnosed with Kllnefelter Syndrome(KS)（遗传性细精管发育不全）a little more
than a year ago,at the age of 25,in February 1996.Being diagnosed has been a big sigh
of relief after a life of frustrations.Throughout my early childhood and adolescence,I was
very shy,reserved,and had trouble making friends.I would fly into rages for no apparent
reason.My parents knew when I was very young that there was something about me that
wasn't right.
2 I saw many psychologists, psychiatrists（精神科医生）,therapists（临床医学家）,and
doctors,and their only diagnosis was"learning disabilities".In the seventh grade,I was
told by a psychologist that I was stupid and lazy,and I would never amount to anything.
After barely graduating from high school , I started out at a local community college.I
received an associate degree in business administration , and never once sought special
help.I transferred to a small liberal arts college to finish up my bachelor of science degree,
and spent an extra year to complete a second degree. Then I started a job as a software
engineer for an Internet-based company.I have been using computers for 17 years and
have learned everything I needed to know on my own.
3 To find out my KS diagnosis. I had gone to my general physician for a physical
examination.He noticed that my testes（睾丸）were smaller than they should be and sent
me for blood work. The karyotype（染色体组型）showed KS, 47, XXY. After seeing
the symptoms of KS and what effects they might have,I found it described me perlectly.
But,after getting over the initial shock and dealing with the denial,depression,and
anger,I decided that there could be things much worse in life,I decided to take a positive
approach.
4 There are several types of treatments for KS. I give myself a testosterone（睾丸素）
injection once every two weeks.My learning and thought processes have become stronger,
and I take greater pleasure in meeting other people and have become more of a leader.
Granted,not all of this is due to the increased testosterone level,some of it is from a new
confidence level and from maturing.
5 I feel that parents who are finding out prior to the birth of their son that he will have KS
are very lucky.There is so much they can do to help their child have a great life.I have
had almost all of the symptoms at some time in my life,and I've gotten through and done
well.
