Hi, I just read about an actors(the irish guy who played in new Miami Vice) son who is dx with angelman syndrome in People Magazine. They say the difference is that with angelman, social interaction is not a problem. In fact they are or seem to be always happy,I think. Funny,I wanted to look it up myself for more info.

Your best bet is to consult with a support group or parent dealing with Angelman syndrome.

Angelman Syndrome (AS) has confused the medical community and parents of Angelman children for hundreds of years. Initially presumed to be rare, it is now believed thousands of Angelman Syndrome cases have gone undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy, autism or other childhood disorders.
