  2. Michael Peres • Disabilities shouldn't be seen as a private weakness but as inspiration and strength to assist individuals break away from the confines that prevent them from achieving their dreams. This is how programmer , and self-made social media icon, Michael Peres treats his Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as he overcomes the restrictions caused by his disability. • He believes his ability to inspire others with similar disabilities to break away from the stigma keeps them from building a better future for themselves. • Being recognized today as a successful tech entrepreneur, mathematician and radio host, Peres has his own stories of struggle before achieving his current social status. • The 29 year-old Canadian native was diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities aged nine.

  3. Michael Peres • Throughout his childhood years, Peres received tutoring in areas such as Mathematics and English literature through a program called JEM, which is designed to help children with learning disabilities. He was required to leave his regular classes to transfer to the program since learning in a regular classroom was difficult for his condition. • Mikey Peresalso has to deal with the side effects of his medication – a 100mg extended-release Ritalin prescribed for juvenile ADHD— which according to him gave him heart palpitations, depression, a sense of constant coldness and erratic lapses in concentration. • However, at times when the drug worked, Peres recalled “feeling unstoppable” and being able to focus on goals he eventually achieved by developing his own unorthodox methods of functioning.
