Living Your Best Life with Turner Syndrome and Nonverbal Learning Disorder!
One in every 2500 girls are born with Turner Syndrome. Many of them also have nonverbal learning disorder. How do you connect with people and live your best life if you are one of them? Mary Yoakum knows what it is like from personal experience, and I'm Just Me is filled with information, personal experiences, advice, and a little humor that speak to both the challenges and gifts that come with these conditions. If you are a girl or woman with Turner Syndrome and nonverbal learning disorder or the parent of one, this is an honest, warm, compassionate, and helpful look at connecting with others and living your best life. As Mary would put it, We have challenges, but with patience and love we get there-wherever we want to go.
I'm Just Me is a beautiful culmination of Mary's experiences and knowledge regarding Turner Syndrome. Her desire to guide parents is a testament to her inherent kindness. -LAURA MAUGEL, mom of a TS child
Your book is very positive and informative. I can relate to the life experiences you wrote about, and your book has not only helped give me a better understanding of why I had such difficulties in elementary school, it has given me the knowledge needed to ponder the fact that I wasn't alone in dealing with this situation. Thank you for being willing to share this information with others. -RITA, Golden Butterfly (60+ Group)
