John Quinn has written the book Someone Like Me -- An Unlikely Story of Challenge and Triumph Over Cerebral Palsy, John tells the incredible story of despite being born with cerebral palsy, how he pursued his boyhood dream of a career in the United States Navy. He was able to keep his disability a secret for 20 years and rise with honors to the rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

My son was diagnosed as a child with ADHD and Autism. We were told not to expect to much of him. Today he is a teacher with a math specialism. Enough said!😊

I have cerebral palsy and am a retired philosophy teacher and I am 56 and use a power chair. I haven't aged well and live in a nursing home.

Inspiring story. From my perspective as a parent of triplets, two having CP, it underscores the abilities of the individual, not the disability. Please check out Clizbeats on the web and go to the "About Us" section to view their ongoing and inspiring story. The more society gets to know about the facts and efforts, the more seemless inclusion can occur. Thanks John Quinn.
