Video: My experience with learning disabilities and social challenges
Thomas was very shy growing up. He didn’t talk much for most of his life. But now he accepts that he’s “different.” And he isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
Listen to Thomas talk about how his learning disability has affected his personal life and relationships. And how it’s molded him into the kind, understanding person he is today.
Thomas’ story is part of Understood’s “The Many Faces of Learning Disabilities.” For more stories, check out this collection of resources.
