My Story

My name is Natalie and I am 18 years old. I have a communication disorder and was diagnosed as being on the very mild end of the Autistic Spectrum at age 6. I had a bit of delayed speech as well as fine motor skills...as well as Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) which I was diagnosed with at age 9. I'm a very smart girl and I am a senior in high school with good grades. I live in North Carolina with my parents and I have an older sister named Zoe who is a junior at East Carolina University. I have an IEP at school and a lot of adults to help me out with my school work.

I enjoy hanging out with friends and seeing movies. I go to a young adult dinner club for people with high functioning ASD's as well as a girls book club with the same kind of people. I hope you like my story
