NOW a NETFLIX series entitled Special from Executive Producer JIM PARSONS starring RYAN O‘CONNELL as himself. From the beloved blogger turned voice of an online generation, an unforgettable and hilarious memoir-meets-manifesto exploring what it means to be a millennial gay man living with cerebral palsy, which VICE calls “a younger, gay version of Mary Karr's Lit.” People are obsessed with Ryan O’Connell’s blogs. With tens of thousands reading his pieces on Thought Catalog and Vice, watching his videos on YouTube, and hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a unique young voice who’s not afraid to dole out some real talk. He’s that candid, snarky friend you consult when you fear you’re spending too much time falling down virtual k-holes stalking your ex on Facebook or when you’ve made the all-too-common mistake of befriending a psycho while wasted at last night’s party and need to find a way to get rid of them the next morning. But Ryan didn’t always have the answers to these modern-day dilemmas. Growing up gay and disabled with cerebral palsy, he constantly felt like he was one step behind everybody else. Then the rude curveball known as your twenties happened and things got even more confusing. Ryan spent years as a Millennial cliché: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in his pajamas as a blogger; communicated mostly via text; looked for love online; spent hundreds on “necessary” items, like candles, while claiming to have no money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through extensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how to take his life from bleak to chic and began limping towards adulthood. Sharp and entertaining, I’m Special will educate twentysomethings (or other adolescents-at-heart) on what NOT to do if they ever want to become happy fully functioning grown-ups with a 401k and a dog.

In this candid memoir of the first 37 years of my life, I share my personal journey of overcoming the judgments and misconceptions of others that come with having a disability. Despite being unique and capable in my own ways, I found myself constantly being defined by others, solely based on what met their eye. But with the support of just a few individuals who truly saw me for who I am, I was able to break free from these prejudices and prove that I am more than what meets the eye. Through honest and ironic humour, I delve into the challenges and struggles I faced in a society that often overlooks or underestimates people with disabilities. From facing discrimination, to feeling like I wasn't "special" enough, I open up about the emotional toll it took on me. Fortunately, however, as you will read, through it all, I never lost hope and continued to push forward towards my goals and follow my dreams. I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery and growth, as I share my experiences of breaking free from societal expectations and embracing my true self. My hope is that this book, my challenges and triumphs will not only shed light on the importance of inclusion and acceptance, but also inspire others to embrace their unique abilities and never let anyone define them based on appearance or seeming 'limitations.' So if you have ever felt like you were not seen for who you truly are, this book is for you. Together, let's break down barriers and celebrate our differences. Because as I have learned, being different is what makes us truly special.
