Download A Different Life: Growing Up Learning Disabled and Other Adventures AudioBook Free

Delivered with a hole in his heart and soul that required intrusive surgery when he was only three months old, Quinn Bradlee suffered from a power of conditions—seizures, migraine headaches, fevers—from an early on age. But it wasn’t until he was fourteen that Bradlee was properly diagnosed with Velo-Cardio-Facial Symptoms (VCFS), a wide-spread, little-understood disorder that is portrayed through an array of physical ailments and learning disabilities.

Ten percent of the population is affected by way of a learning disability, but few of us understand what being learning impaired (LD) is very like. On this funny, moving, and frequently irreverent publication, Bradlee tells his own inspirational storyline of growing up as an LD youngster—and of doing so as the child of larger-than-life, formidably attained parents: long-time Washington Post professional editor Ben Bradlee and bestselling creator Sally Quinn. From his problems reading social cues, to his cringe-worthy lack of erotic innocence, Bradlee details the difficulties and joys of living “another life” with disarming candor and laughter. By the end of A Different Life he'll have become, if not your very best good friend, one of your favorite people.
