Hi

I am new here and am going to a community college to work with kids with special needs doing sign language. In addition to high functioning autism, I also have generalized anxiety and tourettes which has cause problems finding work because people are judgmental about my tyoe of disorders. When I get stressed my tics become really bad.

In my area we do not have much understanding of tourettes. I enjoy music and often do tic tak. I also like to read and do you tube videos. I am continuing to take sign language classes this term.

Thanks
Kayla

Welcome to WP Kayla!

Despite being from the east coast, I'm pretty familiar with the Hawkeye State. My ex-girlfriend is from a community outside of Decorah, and I spent a little time there a few years back. I almost ended up moving to Cedar Rapids, but that ended up falling through at the last minute.

It's really admirable that you want to work with kids with special needs.
