Meet 3 adults with ACC (agenesis of the corpus callosum). Crossing the Bridge, Brisbane - 2018

Meet Georgie, Bill and Connor, three Australian adults with a disorder of the corpus callosum (DCC).
The corpus callosum is the major connecting tissue joining the 2 halves of the brain. Some people are born missing part of all of their corpus callosum.
Hear about the different impacts of a DCC on their lives.

I didn’t even know I had ACC until an MRI 3 years ago after a severe migraine. What’s interesting is I learned to juggle, unicycle, and a lot of other skills with little difficulty. Knowing now what I do about ACC explains a lot of the different things I had and still have trouble with.

I found out i had complete acc when i was 33 years old. My parents had no idea all these years. I struggle with recognizeing facial expressions in others. Cognitive thinking takes me longer figuring things out. I havw a high toletance for pain. And i struggle with keeping up with daily work tasks also strughle with schizoaffective disorder amd anxiety..

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm trying 2 do research 2 learn and educate myself about "Agnes of corpus callosum of a fetus" because im & 21 weeks pregnant & was just told that they couldn't see my son's corpus callosum so I'm waiting 3-4 weeks 2 do an MRI 2 find out if my baby has ACC I'm really Scared but no matter what I'm going to give my baby all the resources I can find or access! It's so nice 2 hear that people have this and some face many problems while others strive?!
