Wait, so you went to Alabama and your roommate was Donta Hightower, the Donta Hightower? One would assume football players generally room with other football players in the athletic dorm. Yet you somehow were living with one of the football team's most elite players? Interdasting.

So taking on big projects is an unhealthy obsession with proving yourself? Haha okay. The population of people who share one of the four deficits I struggle with is quite large. My aim in what I have done up to this point in life since leaving the University of Alabama revolves around creating a greater understanding of what stops people with the inability to write (dysgraphia), to do arithmetic (dyscalculia), to see or feel fingers (finger agnosia) and/or to tell left from right (left-right disorientation) so we can develop better methods of helping those people through processing deficits. Since writing a book, I have realized that sharing a story about living with rare disease is not the same as knowing how to run an organization that addresses what trips up the brains of those with visual/spatial and numerical processing problems. Armed with that knowledge, I know an organization could develop better ways to help people struggling as I have struggled, and that is something I will see happen. All I asked for was advice with stress on this journey but I appreciate you taking the time to respond with that anyway.
