Thanks for handing over to me, my name is Jo and I have Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) – and because of my early experiences, I really value the importance of good support & information for families & it is therefore great to work with dsdfamilies. I was diagnosed shortly after I was born in the early 70s. I was found to have hernias & when they operated, these were found to have been caused by internal testes. At this time, there were no groups like dsdfamilies & my parents were left both isolated & vulnerable.
