This link will take you to the Progeria Research Foundation page where they conducted a written interview with John.  When asked if there was anything John would like other kids to know about children with Progeria he states that,
"We're no different; we do the same things other kids do. Don't be afraid to talk to us."
Just as other people don't like to be stared at, kids with Progeria don't like it either.
This is a great source to relate to, as well as the other videos on this website if you or your child is dealing with too much negative attention.
