Not someone that young, but someone who was in his 30's when it started.. I came to know him right when he first had to start using a wheelchair, but he could still push himself, play games on the computer, do everything himself.
Now, probably 12 years later, he can hardly use a joystick electric wheel chair, is in a full time care facility, can't use the computer except for very very basic things like selecting which song to play and even that takes a lot of effort.
Yeah I don't know if I'd want to know either. I don't know if there's things they can do if they find it early to mitigate the effects or not, so I'm not sure if finding out earlier is important or not.
