They've all DONATED THEIR WRITINGS so that you could get some ideas about how YOU could do tell others about YOUR difference, too!!

Pretty cool, eh??  If all these kids and I STILL haven't convinced you, though, you might want to read some articles I wrote about "Coming Clean" about your TS in your class -- called "THE BIG SECRET!!". Click to see Parts I and II. HANDOUTS for these presentations to give to your TEACHER can be found here!!

I hope that YOU decide to let YOUR class know about your difference now -- it'll make YOUR life better TOO!!

 

See ya,
Dr. Dunc!
