From Chapter 18 Class 10 Helen Keller The Story Of My Life
Samuel Johnson had strange ticks and mannerisms that people did not understand. He had Tourette syndrome, a condition not defined or diagnosed in the 18th century. Helen identified with the challenges of being “different” in her own life. She was inspired that such a great writer persevered despite his challenges.
