Some goats are known to faint. Paxton faints, but he has also been diagnosed with Dysautonomia. This means that the “auto” parts of his body do not work so automatically. Paxton cannot do everything he wants to do. But with support, he can learn to put the most important things first.

Paxton’s story is available as a fully illustrated children’s book.  You can find it on Amazon.  Other preferred booksellers may carry it as well.

Need for Dysautonomia Awareness

Dysautonomia is often an invisible illness.  It takes the average person 6 years before they are diagnosed.  Once a patient is diagnosed, information is scarce.  Paxton’s story offers some light medical information, but focuses more on his social story with a focus on understanding and self-care.  This message is important for anyone of any age who has or knows someone with Dysautonomia.

Paxton’s story can also be used to help children to develop empathy and understand how assumptions can made without knowing someone’s full story. See the resources page for more information and activities.
