DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. — Like so many young adults, Bill Yoakam of Naperville is still living at
home with his parents. They’re happy to have him, but as their son gets older, the reality that soon he’ll need to leave home becomes profound, and carried with it many challenges.
Bill, 25, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome when he was 17-years
old. It’s a developmental disability caused by a chromosomal defect.
