24M med student in Philly with CAS, looking to connect with others who grew up with it
Hi all,
I'm a 24-year-old med student in the Philadelphia area, and I grew up with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). I've come a long way with it, but I never really had anyone to talk to who'd been through the same thing. Growing up, it was mostly speech therapists, teachers, and family who were supportive but didn't really get it.
Now that I'm in a new city and starting a new chapter, I'd love to meet others with CAS, whether you're still working through it or it's mostly in the past. I'm hoping to swap experiences: what it was like growing up, how it shows up now (or doesn't), dealing with school and work, that kind of thing.
I'm open to grabbing coffee, a casual meetup, or just messaging if that's more comfortable. Parents of kids with CAS are welcome to reach out too, but I'm mainly hoping to find other adults who've lived it.
Feel free to comment or DM me. Thanks for reading!
