Normal sucks

how to live learn and thrive outside the lines
Jonathan Mooney
Book - 2019

Jonathan Mooney blends anecdote, expertise, and memoir to present a new mode of thinking about how we live and learn<U+2015>individually, uniquely, and with advantages and upshots 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<U+2019>t the problem<U+2015>the system and the concept of normal were<U+2015>saved Mooney<U+2019>s life and fundamentally changed his outlook. Here he explores the toll that being not normal takes on kids and adults when they<U+2019>re trapped in environments that label them, shame them, and tell them, even in subtle ways, that they are the problem. But, he argues, if we can reorient the ways in which we think about diversity, abilities, and disabilities, we can start a revolution.
