As a graduate of Brown University, Writer and Neurodiversity Advocate Jonathan Mooney is often asked how he overcame his dyslexia and ADHD in order to thrive in college. What he says needs to be overcome or fixed is, in fact, how differences are treated in environments designed around the idea that we are all the same.
Writer and Neurodiversity Advocate Jonathan Mooney says that we should be asking “What’s the school’s problem?” or “What’s the work environment’s problem?” in a world where normal is good and right and difference is deficient.
Writer and Neurodiversity Advocate Jonathan Mooney says the words “disability” and “disorder” in diagnoses like learning disability and ADHD pathologize differences.
