At a visit with a specialist, they were told to "never tell their son he had XXY". Confused about what they were told Chelsea talks about how this consultation leads to their decision to overcome fear and open up about Noah's diagnosis. Opening up created a network of support they never had. Chelsea said she doesn't want anyone to feel alone and wants to support others just like those who supported her. Her Instagram: @easterneden
