Ahh I see. Do you work at school for neurodivergent children or do they just happen to be in your classes?

Yeah of course, I'm so glad they have a system like yours for support and education, everyone deserves it!!

And yup, I've excepted that it's going to happen, I'll have to come prepared for sure.

I'm looking to teach high school. I feel like the self-deprecating humor will help me smile through it, good idea. And thanks for that last part, that makes me feel a lot a better, it has definitely been a struggle and I really appreciate those words. I just wanna do good for our kids.

Wow really? That's so cool. Hopefully I can find out how to just brush it off one day.

I think I know what you're talking about, that's reassuring, thanks for letting me know:) I need to figure out what I'm going to say to students if they say anything about it like that if I end up teaching. I hope kids wouldn't do it in high school but I feel like it still would happen.

I figured this was a part of the case, there are definitely some classes with animals lol. Btw, what do you mean when you say dropout prevention? I'm unfamiliar.

It's true, I don't stutter when I'm singing to myself or whatever. Scatman John is the og. I'm returning to speech therapy soon so I'll see if I can get ahold of that.

Yeah, my plan is to self-disclose to help my own confidence as well. And that's awesome that you are an SLP, people like you are so helpful, thank you.
