Hello, Im a 15 year old boy and live in Finland, since i havent told anyone ever about my duane's syndrome type 1 i tought it would be a good idea to share my story here. I was born with it, between 1th and 5th grade i got teased about it from older guys in our school, it kept on going for a few years and soon i started to learn how to live with it. After 6th grade i think people just forgot that my eyes looked like crossed eyes etc. Now im in 9th grade and as long as i can remember nobody has noticed it for 3 years now, i guess im just so good at living with this. I never really knew what this "syndrome" was untill yesterday. I googled it and read about it for an couple of hours, i always tought i was the only person with this syndrome since i never met anyone with duane's syndrome. I've tought about telling some of my close friends about this but then again i dont know if i want the whole school to know about it, i mean they probably wont you know tease me about it or anything but i just dont wanna be that one wierd 9th grader in our school. I did bring this subject up with my mom a couple months ago and we talked about it for and while and she suggested i should go and visit an private eye doctor, since it would take an year to get an appoitment in our hospital. I've read about some surgery's and dont even know if i have the opportunity to have one here, or if it could just get worse. anyways i dont know why i even started to bother about this again, i've live with this for 15 years now and my life is pretty good tough, but theres just those moments when were with our friends in the city or something and im sitting on the right side and everyone else is one the left side of me and theyr talking to me it makes me very uncomfortable since i have to tilt my head like a retard to look at them. Well theres my story shotly. I really hope i would meet someone with duane's syndrome one day face2face:)

Hey there! I have it too. I got picked on a lot as a kid for it. It really got me down. I know you don't know me but I just want you to know that you are special and you should never feel ashamed. Everyone has differences, this just happens to be ours.
