À propos de cet audio
This program is read by the author.
Confessional and often hilarious, in Normal Sucks, a neuro-diverse writer, advocate, and father meditates on his life, offering the radical message that we should stop trying to fix people and start empowering them to succeed.
Jonathan Mooney blends anecdote, expertise, and memoir to present a new mode of thinking about how we live and learn - 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 12, the realization that that he wasn’t the problem - the system and the concept of normal were - saved Mooney’s life and fundamentally changed his outlook. Here he explores the toll that being not normal takes on kids and adults when they’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.
A highly sought-after public speaker, Mooney has been inspiring audiences with his story and his message for nearly two decades. Now he’s ready to share what he’s learned from parents, educators, researchers, and kids in a book that is as much a survival guide as it is a call to action. Whip-smart, insightful, and utterly inspiring - and movingly framed as a letter to his own young sons, as they work to find their ways in the world - this audiobook will upend what we call normal and empower us all.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A hard read on just how difficult and brutal society treats learning differences
It was hard to read the horrors learning different children have to go through but a story all should hear.

Disturbing, powerful and has an impact
I am reluctant to give it only 4 stars. It's powerful. Colourful, humorous writing. Sometimes it was too disturbing for me and I tuned out. I felt the authors anger. It was brilliant but hard to listen to. It changed me.

Jonathan puts the WOW in being different
I loved the Audio version because I am a slow reader and really enjoy listening to people discuss and talk about the why are we here journey. I bought this book because my son is eleven and can't read or remember letters. I am trying to understand how I can help him learn outside the box either visually and/or through audible assistance. A big thank you to Jonathan for explaining how we can all step back and appreciate people around us that don't fit the mold of the so called "normal". Many thanks Jonathan, the book is outstanding, honest and caring.
