Strange noises erupted from a second-grader's throat - sharp barks, rhythmic whoops, guttural sounds he couldn't silence no matter how hard he tried. Teachers glared. Classmates giggled, then scattered. His father fumed, convinced these disruptions were deliberate acts of defiance. But Brad Cohen wasn't misbehaving. His body had become a stranger to him, producing involuntary movements and sounds that isolated him from the world he desperately wanted to join. Growing up in 1980s St. Louis, Brad lived inside a paradox. His energy wasn't typical childhood restlessness - it was frantic, uncontrollable, accompanied by facial twitches and vocalizations that mystified everyone around him. After his parents divorced, his father dismissed these behaviors as attention-seeking, creating a painful distance during Brad's most vulnerable years. At Camp Sabra before fourth grade, his constant throat-clearing amused other campers enough to earn him a "Froggy Award." For a brief moment, being the funny kid felt better than being the weird one. This wasn't a story about overcoming disability through sheer willpower - it was about discovering that what makes us different might be exactly what the world needs most.
