[18:37] Cara Wasden, a member of Toast of Petaluma Toastmasters in California, was diagnosed in high school with Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and sounds called tics. In this short interview, Cara scratches the surface of what it's like to live with Tourette's—every individual with this disorder lives with a variety of symptoms—and shares her experiences participating in speech contests and serving as a nature guide for students.
