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.

Thomas’ story is part of Understood’s “The Many Faces of Learning Disabilities.” For more stories, check out this collection of resources.
