Dr. Dan speaks to Jonathan Mooney, the always inspiring social justice and diversity advocate, speaker, entrepreneur, and author of Normal Sucks.
Jonathan tells us that “different is not deficient” -- there are advantages to every type of brain and body. As a neuro-diverse kid diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD who didn’t learn to read until he was twelve, the realization that that he wasn’t the problem―the system and the concept of normal were―literally saved Mooney’s life. Jonathan now changes lives every day.
Jonathan upends what we call normal and empowers us all. For more information: www.jonathanmooney.com. Listen to Dr. Dan and Jonathan’s previous Parent Footprint episodes here and here
