The ADHD Kids Can Thrive Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
My guest is Jonathan Mooney - acclaimed author, passionate advocate, and an example of triumph over adversity. Living with ADHD and dyslexia, Jonathan’s inspiring journey from a struggling student to a successful author and speaker is brilliantly chronicled in our heart-to-heart conversation.
Jonathan Mooney is a dyslexic writer, speaker, and do-gooder who did not learn to read until 12 years old. He faced a number of low expectations growing up—was told he would flip burgers, be a high school drop out and end up in jail. Needless to say those hopeful prophecies didn’t come to pass. Opposed to being a high school drop out he became a college graduate from Brown University with an honors degree in English lit; instead of flipping burgers he ended up writing books titled Learning Outside The Lines, The Short Bus: A Journey Beyond Normal, and Normal Sucks. And instead of becoming an inmate he became an advocate creating organizations and initiatives that help people who get the short end of the stick.
