NF refers to genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. NF includes all forms of neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis and affects about 4 million people worldwide. Anyone can be born with NF, and it affects everyone differently. There is no cure yet.
The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) began as the first grassroots organization solely dedicated to finding treatments for NF. Today, CTF is a highly recognized global nonprofit foundation, the leading force in fighting to end NF, and a model for other innovative research endeavors.

    I was a pretty outgoing kid, but after years of bullying, social exclusion and torment, I became socially awkward as a result . After so many bad social experiences, I just started to assume that every social experience would be a negative one and for the most part they were. As a kid, I was always bullied more for my optic glioma than I was my NF. It wasn't till I was 30 that the bumps started all over my face and now my quality of life is worse than ever. I don't like to think that I have mental health issues, I just have challenges with the way people treat me. No matter how many pills I pop, this will never change that, that is why I have always stayed away from pills. I think when it comes to diagnosing kids with autism who have NF, this should be considered.

    People struggle with my appearance and I struggle as a result of having so many negative social experiences. Calls this autism, but what it really is, is PTSD. When I was a little kid I was out going, but was told to shut up and was outcast so often that I lost that quality.
