“I was only diagnosed with expressive language delay about seven years ago.”
“There would be long pauses between my thoughts and ideas, and they would interrupt me because maybe they thought I was done talking and I wasn't done talking.”
“If I was in a small group or a group of people I would never really get to talk because if I wanted to say something somebody else would say something before I could so I never got my turn to talk.”
“I joined an organization called Toastmasters in 2011 — that's an organization that helps people with public speaking.”
This is my story of having an expressive language disorder diagnosed as an adult. If you have expressive language delay it doesn't have to cripple you. #languagedisorder #troubletalking To subscribe to the channel click here. http://www.youtube.com/c/JasonSilvers...
