Join us as John Elder Robison describes how the differences of autism and ADHD, considered disabilities as children, can confer powerful competitive advantages upon us as adults. Through poignant examples from his own life, Robison shows how traits that limited him as a child actually facilitated some of his greatest accomplishments as an adult. He shares a new way to look at disability, difference, and giftedness, and offers a different paradigm for educators, parents, and neuro-diverse people. Anyone who is personally affected by autism, Asperger’s, or ADHD will find this talk illuminating and inspiring.
