Recently in the national spotlight 😉, Brayden has written a book to help other kids to be published by Harper Collins in August 2021. Brendan believes now that his stutter is his greatest strength.

    Jaylen Arnold was born with Tourette Syndrome, Asp Jaylen Arnold was born with Tourette Syndrome, Asperger’s and OCD. When he was eight, Jaylen was bullied at school because he was different. Determined to educate people about respect and the impact on kids being bullied, he founded Jaylens Challenge and later a related non-profit dedicated to awareness and prevention of bullying through education and community service.  He even created “Bullying no way!” wristbands. In fact, for his important work, Jaylen was the recipient of the Princess Diana Legacy Award, given by Princes Harry and William to young people who have developed programs and initiatives to inspire positive change. DHIFI praises Jaylen and his continued work in making the world a better place not despite but because of his differences. 🦚🙏 #jaylenarnold #jaylenschallenge #antibullying #tourettesyndrome #tourettesawareness #aspergerssyndrome #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #celebrate differences
