In honor of Epilepsy Awareness Month we would like to share Heather Rose Atkinson's story. Heather was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was one and later as being on the autism spectrum. Her challenges haven't stopped her from pursuing her dreams! She can sing, act and dance. Heather has had several leading roles in productions by Arms Wide Open San Diego. Congratulations, Heather!
