, singer
Fyodor Bondarchuk, actor, director
A child with the same characteristics was born into the family of the famous director Fyodor Bondarchuk. His eldest son Sergei has younger sister Varvara with cerebral palsy. Fedor and his wife are engaged in the social adaptation of the child in to a greater extent abroad. The girl’s mother, the director’s wife, actress Svetlana Bondarchuk, in an interview with SNC magazine explained their decision by saying that life in Russia is “completely unsuitable for people with disabilities.” disabilities"Today Varvara is 16 years old.
The daughter of singer Lolita from her marriage to showman Alexander Tsekalo is 14 years old today. Eva was born at five months old, and some time later the child was diagnosed with autism. Despite the doctors' persuasion, the singer did not abandon her daughter. Milyavskaya sincerely considers Eva ordinary. The girl speaks fluent English, swims well, reads poetry and goes to fashion shows with her mother.
, producer
Producer Konstantin Meladze and his already ex-wife Yan is raising three children: two daughters Alisa and Leah, 15 and 11 years old, respectively, and a 10-year-old son, Valery. Youngest child born with autism.
Here's what the boy's mother said about her son's diagnosis in an interview with KP:
“This is not a sentence, this is an execution, after which you were left to live. This is a serious disease that has no cure yet. It is being corrected. I am talking about a severe form of autism. Such children can be taught. I think that parents who are faced with a similar problem, I know the feeling of fear, helplessness in the face of grief, shame. Our society does not accept or recognize “others.” But when a child has his first successes, hope and faith awaken - and then a new starting point for true victories and bright pride for his child begins.
And parents don’t need to be ashamed or blame themselves. Don't think that you might have done something wrong. When you understand what important mission you are fulfilling in your child’s life, you will realize the value or even pricelessness of yours. And most importantly: autistic disorder must be diagnosed in the first year of a child’s life! The fatal mistake of doctors and parents is to wait up to three years. Children who begin correct correction before they are one year old show amazing results. And in the end, they are not much different from their peers.”
Sergey and Natalya Belogolovtsev- parents of three sons: the eldest Nikita and twins Alexander and Evgeniy. As it turned out, the couple hid for a long time that one of the twins was suffering cerebral palsy, but still the couple decided to openly talk about Eugene’s health.
So, in the program studio “Alone with everyone” with Yulia Menshova Sergei admitted that he and his wife were embarrassed at first about their son and therefore did not tell anyone about it. As it turned out, the twins were born premature, and this affected little Zhenya’s condition - doctors discovered four heart defects in him. When he was a little less than a year, he underwent a major operation, after which complications began, and he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
“To be honest, we hid it at first and for quite a long time. And Natasha didn’t take him to the shoot. Now I understand that there was such a sin that we were also embarrassed, and we also thought that we were somehow inferior, and that we were somehow wrong, that we had such a child,” admitted Belogolovtsev. After years of torment and guilt over the fate of their son, the couple realized that the time had come to talk about the problem. So, they not only talked about their story, but also began to help other families with similar questions.
Now Zhenya, who was predicted to have a bleak future, is hosting the program "Miscellaneous news" on the TV channel Time TV. Despite the diagnosis, he graduated from a school for gifted children and entered the Institute theatrical arts, advertising and show business.

His family often changed service apartments, and therefore Sergei constantly had to move from one school to another.While studying at school, our today's hero was fond of football and basketball.

Literally a few months after his appearance in these parts, Belogolovtsev assembled his own propaganda team and even made several attempts to organize his own rock band.

Many people consider these babies to be children of God. They are completely dependent and defenseless in front of this cruel world. Raising them will be a lot of work, which requires enormous spiritual strength. In our selection, we talk about families who have come to terms with their fate, overstepped the evil intentions of society, rose above prejudice and are confident that their children are the same people as everyone else, only with a different set of chromosomes.
Son of Evelina Bledans and Alexander Semin
On April 1, 2012, Evelina Bledans gave birth to her second son, Semyon. After giving birth, the actress admitted that she knew about the illness of her unborn baby, but despite this, she and her husband, director and producer Alexander Semin wished for the baby to be born.
The doctors asked him to think about it, hinting at an abortion, but Alexander confidently declared that he didn’t want to hear about it.
“We will give birth anyway. Even if you now say that the child has begun to grow wings, nails, a beak and that he is generally a dragon, that means there will be a dragon. Leave us alone. We will give birth."
The birth process took place together with her husband, who tried his best to encourage Evelina. The child was born with an extra chromosome, as well as with two fingers on the left leg fused together. However, the parents in the delivery room were crying not from grief, but from happiness. And they already love him. And love, as you know, is not a test for the weak.
People today are intimidated by prejudices about down children. According to statistics, 85 percent are simply afraid of the additional difficulties of raising a child who is different from everyone else.
And only 15 percent of moms and dads, endowed with the gift of love, hope and faith, take the child, and perform their parental feat every day. Evelina and Alexander deserve great respect and admiration, because they not only accepted their son as God sent him to them, but also constantly prove to people that such children are also happiness.
Most mothers who were at a crossroads are grateful to Evelina and Alexander for an open conversation on a secretly taboo topic, so painful for parents of sunny children.
Daughter of Lolita Milyavskaya
Lolita Milyavskaya did not give up on her daughter Eva when doctors told the singer that her child was born defective. According to the artist, doctors first said that the girl had Down syndrome, but later changed the diagnosis to autism - an innate psychological isolation. Lolita does not miss the opportunity to praise her daughter in every interview. But at the same time, he does not hide the fact that the child has health problems. Until the age of four, Eva could not speak, and she also had poor eyesight.
In many interviews, Lolita said that her daughter was born at six months old; the singer was then 35 years old. The baby weighed less than one and a half kilograms, and she was nursed for a long time in a pressure chamber.
No wonder they say that mother's love works wonders. Now 16-year-old Eva goes to school and practically keeps up with her healthy peers. And her famous mother always supports other mothers raising children with genetic differences.
Daughter of Fyodor and Svetlana Bondarchuk
In 2001, Fyodor Bondarchuk’s wife gave birth to a girl. The baby was born ahead of schedule, and doctors fought for her life for a long time, after which the girl began to have developmental problems. Varya - " sunny child", this is usually the name given to children born with Down syndrome. They live in their own special world and smile much more often than their healthy peers. In the Bondarchuk family, the word “illness” is not uttered - the spouses simply call Varya special.
The illness of Varvara’s youngest daughter not only did not destroy, but, on the contrary, strengthened the union of Fedor and Svetlana. As a rule, in such a situation, the husband and wife stop communicating very quickly, but, fortunately, this did not happen to them.
Varya mostly lives abroad, where she can get the treatment she needs and a decent education. Svetlana notes that Russia, unfortunately, is not suitable for such “special” children as her daughter.
“Fantastic, funny and much loved child! She instantly wins over all people. It is simply impossible not to love her. She is very bright. Varya, unfortunately, spends a lot of time outside of Russia; It’s easier for her to study there and easier for her to undergo rehabilitation. Why did I talk about this at the time of the adoption of the “Dima Yakovlev Law”? Because I know about this problem firsthand. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to send her to study and treatment,” Bondarchuk said in an interview with the magazine.
The woman is incredibly grateful to her husband Fyodor for the support he provides to her and her daughter. According to Svetlana, the birth of Varvara only brought their couple together.
There is no place for despondency or sadness in Bondarchuk’s life; the woman approaches all problems philosophically: “Yes, we have a child with certain problems, but something terrible can happen to anyone at any moment... No one is immune. Living in suffering and despondency is wrong.”
Daughter of Irina Khakamada
Irina Khakamada, talented business coach, designer, former politician and the head of the interregional social solidarity fund “Our Choice,” which she created in 2006 for people with disabilities of all ages, having become inspired by this topic after the birth of her daughter Maria in 1997, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome.
Irina is not only a strong-willed woman whose fortitude would be the envy of many male leaders, but also an amazing mother. At the age of 42, she decided to have a child. Not only was the baby born special, but also terrible disease overtook her.
In 2004, just when Irina was running for president of the Russian Federation, no one could have thought that she was going through a terrible family tragedy. Doctors diagnosed Mashenka with leukemia. The girl underwent chemotherapy. Fortunately, she overcame this illness. A few years later, Irina decided to show her daughter to people and came with her to the premiere of the blockbuster “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.” This appearance in the world was not easy even for the strong-willed Khakamada. Everyone saw that her daughter suffers from Down syndrome - and they were imbued with deep respect for this courageous and strong woman.
In an interview, Irina says that Masha loves to dance. She has artistic thinking, but exact sciences are difficult for the girl. And everything that concerns the figurative vision of the world, drawing, dancing, singing, she succeeds.
Son of Konstantin Meladze
Producer Konstantin Meladze divorced his wife Yana in 2013 after 19 years life together, the couple has three children together - Alice, Leah and Valery. Konstantin did not immediately learn that his son suffered from a rare disease - autism. It’s not easy to get used to this diagnosis, because it’s impossible to fight it. For a long time this information was hidden from the press. However, the mother of the boy Valera said that her son suffers from autism in the first interview after her divorce from Meladze.
“Doctors diagnosed Valera with autism. Treatment of this disease in all countries of the world is very expensive, including Ukraine. No, this is not a sentence, this is an execution, after which you were left to live. This is a serious disease that has no cure yet. It is being adjusted. I'm talking about severe autism. Such children can be taught. I think parents who are faced with a similar problem are familiar with the feeling of fear, helplessness in the face of grief, and shame. Our society does not accept or recognize “others”. But when the child has his first successes, hope and faith awaken - and then a new starting point for genuine victories and bright pride in his child begins. And parents don’t need to be ashamed or blame themselves. Don't think that you might have done something wrong. When you understand what responsible mission you are performing in your child’s life, you will realize the value or even pricelessness of your role. And most importantly: autistic disorder must be diagnosed in the first year of a child’s life! The fatal mistake of doctors and parents is to wait up to three years. Children who begin correct correction before they are one year old show amazing results. And in the end, they are not much different from their peers.”
Valera is a completely normal child in appearance. His parents realized he was sick when he was three years old. He looks great, but lives in his own world. He hardly communicates with people, he has no need for it. The child looks like an enchanted boy who looks exactly the same as us.
Son of Anna Netrebko
In 2008, the famous Russian opera diva Anna Netrebko gave birth to her first child, whom she named Thiago. When the boy was three years old, he was diagnosed with autism. This news was like a bolt from the blue for his famous mother.
“I used to explain his silence by the fact that in our house they speak four languages, and it is difficult for the baby to adapt to this. He spoke only when he needed something. We raised the alarm only after noticing that the son did not react when spoken to. Then everything became clear,” she said.
According to the celebrity, in all other respects the child seemed absolutely normal. “Thiago is very neat and self-sufficient,” says the singer. Despite everything, the star does not lose heart and believes that the boy will overcome this terrible disease!
“He is, of course, a computer genius. I don’t have a computer, and I don’t know how to use it. And he already knows how to count and recognize numbers up to 1000 at the age of three. He really loves the zoo, watching penguins swim underwater,” the star mother says proudly.
Now her seven-year-old son is studying at an integrated school in New York. This educational institution Visited not only by sick, but also by completely healthy children. Doctors gave hope opera diva– her child has only a mild form of autism, and if the boy is treated in a special way, deviations in his development will be practically unnoticeable, which means that he will be able to study and communicate normally with other children.
“I'm not afraid to say that my son is autistic. “Alas, many mothers face this problem, and I want them to see from Thiago’s example that this illness is not a death sentence.”
Son of Sergei Belogolovtsev
The children of Sergei Belogolovtsev not only brought many happy moments to the artist and his wife, but also became a real test for both of them. When their eldest son Nikita was not yet a year old, Sergei Belogolovtsev’s wife Natalya Barannik became pregnant again.
Sergei's wife had a very difficult time with her second pregnancy, and her birth occurred prematurely - Sergei Belogolovtsev's two youngest children were born at seven months.
But the problem was not only this, the fact is that one of the children was born very weak - doctors diagnosed him with four heart defects at once. The boys were named Sasha and Evgeny. When little Zhenya was nine months old and could be operated on, the parents hoped until the very end for a good outcome from the operation, which was successful, but difficulties began later.
The child’s heart was working very weakly, and Zhenya went into a coma and lay there for two whole months. During this period he experienced clinical death, due to which the baby developed cerebral palsy.
The eldest of the twins, Sasha, developed normally, but the younger, Zhenya, was far behind - he learned to talk only at the age of six. The child was on the verge of death until he was eight years old, and all this time his parents did not leave his side. around the clock, replacing each other.
After several years of terrible torment, they began to have hope and joy - the treatment of their sick son began to bring results. Today, the children of Sergei Belogolovtsev, and especially Evgeniy, are a great pride for their parents. He successfully graduated from a school for gifted children and entered the Institute of Theater Arts, Advertising and Show Business. Nikita graduated from the Faculty of International Journalism at MGIMO, works as a presenter on the Rossiya 2 and TV Center TV channels, and is a sports producer and political commentator on the Dozhd TV channel. Alexander Belogolovtsev is a MGIMO student, presenter of the Karusel TV channel, executive producer of the MB-Group television company.
And last year Zhenya became a TV presenter, despite serious disease. The proud father shared this news on his social network page on March 17, 2014: “Zhenya Belogolovtsev recorded pilot broadcasts as the presenter of a section in the “DIFFERENT NEWS” program on the wonderful RazTV channel.”
“A week ago, my parents told me that I could become a TV presenter,” says 25-year-old Belogolovtsev Jr. - We dream that I would work in my specialty, because after graduation theater institute I am probably the first professional actor diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I want guys like me to believe in themselves.”
Grandson of Boris Yeltsin
A child suffering from Down syndrome is growing up in the family of the first president Russian Federation- Boris Yeltsin. The boy was born in 1995 in the second marriage of his daughter Tatyana Yumasheva. The family hid the illness of the boy, who was named Gleb, for a long time. Even in family photographs it was impossible to see his face.
However, the day came when Tatyana broke the silence and told the whole truth on her microblog. The woman informed the press that Gleb was studying at a specialized school. Tutors come to his home. The boy loves swimming and chess.
“He remembers hundreds of classical musical works– Bach, Mozart, Beethoven... The chess coach is amazed at how extraordinary he thinks. Glebushka also swims amazingly in all styles, writes Tatyana. - It is believed that Down syndrome is a disease. But, in my opinion, children with Down syndrome are simply different. They are concerned about what we easily pass by without noticing.”
Tatyana Yumasheva, general director of the Boris Yeltsin Foundation, in 2006 financed the creation of some educational methods for children with diabetes. And he is proud of his son, who is said to resemble Harry Potter in many ways.
Son of actress Iya Savvina
Iya Savvina’s only heir, son Sergei, was once awarded a personal exhibition. And this was an incredible achievement for him. After all, the boy was born with terrible diagnosis“Down syndrome”, which in our country sounds like a death sentence.
Still its unusual, talented paintings destroyed stereotypes of perception of people suffering from Down syndrome. Despite his serious illness, Sergei received good home education: studied English language, plays the piano excellently, knows poetry and painting well. And he picked up a brush and paints as an adult.
Savvina learned about the diagnosis of her long-awaited son while still in the maternity hospital. She was offered to place the sick child in a special boarding school. But she categorically refused. Savvina accepted her boy, who was unlike others, as he was given to her from above. I studied with him, developed his abilities in every possible way, and hired teachers. What takes other children months to master, he took years to master. But the results later surprised prominent doctors. And those of them who once assured her of the uselessness of such activities admitted their mistake.
Iya managed to care for her son, act in films and theater, creating unforgettable images of selfless women.
Today Sergei Shestakov is 56. Although he, in fact, remains a big child, nevertheless, he amazes everyone with his numerous talents. Plays the piano and recites poetry. Well, he draws, of course. But he still can’t understand that his beloved mother will never look at him with pride and love: actress Iya Savvina passed away on August 27, 2011...

Statistics in the West are inexorable: autism affects one in 88 children, Down syndrome affects every 700. Many star families faced developmental disorders using the example of their own children, but did not give up and, moreover, contributed huge contribution into the study of these complex diseases.
Sergio, Sylvester Stallone's youngest son, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. For the actor, this news was a real blow.
Little Sergio had difficulty adapting to the world around him: he could not establish contact even with his loved ones, not to mention the rest of those around him. The bitter irony is that as a child, Stallone himself was almost classified as autistic, but he turned out to be healthy. Sergio did not cause serious concern - and turned out to be ill.
In the first moments, he and Sasha were depressed, devastated and confused. But then the understanding returned that action is always better than inaction, and parents - best traditions Rocky - decided to fight.
“I understood that Sly would not be able to pay enough attention to this because of his work. And then I told him: provide me with the means, and I will take care of everything,” says Sasha Zak.
And so it happened: Stallone worked with such dedication as never before, and his wife devoted herself to fighting for her son. With Stallone's money, Sasha achieved the creation and opening of a research fund on autism.
However, very soon life made it clear that the seemingly ideal combination of talent, experience and desire to work does not always guarantee a successful result.
During the filming of the fourth "Rocky" the actor suffered a heart attack. Straight from film set he was taken to the hospital, where he spent several weeks.
Stallone's grueling, literally exhausting work and the no less difficult struggle waged by Sasha Zak separated the spouses. different worlds. The ten-year marriage, which had already experienced one breakup, had exhausted itself: Sylvester and Sasha talked about everything and signed divorce papers.
Sergio Stallone is now 35 years old. He is not a public person, does not maintain contact with journalists, does not attend social events, but lives calmly and quietly. His father helps him with medical care and visits him regularly. After Sylvester’s eldest son, Sage, died of a heart attack in 2012, the actor treats Sergio even more reverently.
“Yes, the son is always in his own world,” says Stallone, “and never leaves it. I have enough money, but for so many years now I have not been able to help him with anything. Nevertheless, the thought of abandoning my son never even occurred to me, even in my youth, when I was so busy with my career.”
Jenny McCarthy's son
In September 1999, Jenny married actor and director John Asher. In May 2002, she gave birth to her son, Evan. Everything seemed to be going great in her life. And suddenly, in August 2005, McCarthy and Usher divorced. The press gossiped about the mutual infidelities of the spouses, that Jenny preferred to share a bed with women.
It turned out that she little son suffers from autism. John did not have the patience or strength to raise a sick child. Doctors said it doesn't exist effective methods treatments for autism, but Jenny refused to believe them.
The cheerful, bright blonde never hid her son Evan's diagnosis. Jenny did not panic or despair, preferring to remain optimistic even in such a difficult time for her.
Having learned about her son’s diagnosis, the star, gathering all her will into a fist, began to fight her child’s terrible illness. McCarthy gave all her energy and time to Evan. And mother's love won! The boy's condition began to improve.
"Evan couldn't speak, wasn't able to establish eye contact, was antisocial. And now he's making friends! It was amazing to see how certain types of therapy were successful for some children but failed completely for others.”
McCarthy works with Evan a lot, and as a result he attends his regular secondary school. In order to help other parents of children diagnosed with autism, she founded the charity Generation Rescue. In addition, the actress published the book “ Louder than words", in which she talked about how she managed to cure her son.
Dan Marino's son
American football player Dan Marino and his wife opened a center for children with autism spectrum disorders at a Miami hospital.
Their son Michael was diagnosed at age two. Like other parents, Dan and his wife took the boy to the doctor after noticing abnormalities and developmental delays. Michael is now 27 years old. Thanks to successful implementation intensive care at an early age, the young man now lives an almost full life.
Toni Braxton's son
In October 2006 American singer Toni Braxton burst into tears at a concert at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, talking from the stage about how she younger son Diesel has autism, and also stated that if the diagnosis had been made earlier, the boy could have received much more help.
“Early diagnosis makes a life-changing difference... As a mother, I knew something was wrong with my baby even when he was about 9 months old. By the time he was a year and a half old, I said, “He’s not developing like his big brother,” Tony recalls.
Currently, the artist actively funds research in the field of autism and is a representative of the organization Autism Speaks. And we can only be happy for 12-year-old Diesel: the boy was included in common system education, and now he goes to school with ordinary children.
There are battles that can neither be won nor finished; you have to fight constantly, day after day. They exhaust everyone equally: and ordinary person, and a Hollywood star. But even in these global battles, small but very important victories occur.
