520    Ben Mattlin lives a normal, independent life. Why is that 
       interesting? Because Mattlin was born with spinal muscular
       atrophy, a congenital weakness from which he was expected 
       to die in childhood. Not only did Mattlin live through 
       childhood, he became one of the first students in a 
       wheelchair to attend Harvard, from which he graduated and 
       became a professional writer. His advantage? Mattlin?s 
       life happened to parallel the growth of the disability 
       rights movement, so that in many ways he did not feel that
       he was disadvantaged at all, merely different. Miracle Boy
       Grows Up is a witty, unsentimental memoir that you won?t 
       forget, told with engrossing intelligence and a unique 
       perspective on living with a disability in the United 
       States.
