BEN MATTLIN is the author of DISABILITY PRIDE: DISPATCHES FROM A POST-ADA WORLD, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, and MIRACLE BOY GROWS UP. Based in Los Angeles, he is a senior writer at Financial Advisor magazine. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, CNN, Time, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, Self magazine, and USA Today, and has been broadcast on NPR’s “Morning Edition.” He's also a former contributing editor at Institutional Investor, the late Windows In Financial Services, Dealmaker, Buyside, and Individual Investor magazines. Non-print credits include the Mark Taper Forum, Blonde and Brunette Productions, and the children's television program BIKER MICE FROM MARS. He has a nice butt, too, but you'll never see it because he's always sitting in a wheelchair. His writing about disability-related causes led to appearances on radio and multiple podcasts, just like everybody else. He's also been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, and Penthouse. Born in New York City in 1962 with spinal muscular atrophy, a congenital muscle weakness, Mattlin graduated cum laude from Harvard University in 1984. He and his wife have two adult daughters, a cat, and a turtle.
