Growing up wasn't easy for me - I was a very mean and aggressive
person because of my disorder. When I was twelve years old my counselor
gave me medication to help me with my behavior, but I still lacked one
thing and that was motivation. I did not have anything to look forward
to.
That all changed during my freshmen year in high school. An autistic
kid had enrolled in our school district and after a while he and I
became real close friends. Because of him I volunteered in the Special
Olympics and I even wrote a book on autism while still in high school.
During my senior year I decided I wanted to be a Special Ed. Teacher
and it was my autistic friend who showed me my true role in life. I love
working with special needs kids!
