Dylan

Hi my name is Dylan. Most people see me as a regular teenager but what they don't see is the fact that i am living with Neurofibromatosis type 1. It is one of the most common yes most unknown medical disorder. 1 in 3000 people get it and i am that one. i was diagnosed at 6 months of age. at the time i knew nothing of it because i was a baby. now that i am 16 i understand it greatly. i am affected by it in some cases. i sometimes have trouble reading at higher levels and i can have trouble understanding what i read. However, i never let the fact that i have NF get in the way of any of my goal in life. Instead I see it as more motivation to achieve them because I can then set an example that it doesn't matter who you are or what you have, with enough hard work you can achieve your goals. I believe that i have NF and it does not have me. What I am trying to say by this is that NF makes me who I am. It is a part of me and it always will be. That is all for now. hope to talk to you more soon..
