Ryan O’Connell, author of I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves, was interviewed recently by Hilton in “Bedtime Stories: Ryan O’Connell” where he talks about his book and what he wants people to come away with, as well as praises The Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons.
O’Connell began writing Thought Catalog on the internet and wrote for , , and magazines as well. Having written several episodes of MTV’s Awkward, O’Connell’s next challenge is to turn his book into a scripted series for Parsons under his banner That’s Wonderful Productions along with Warner Brothers.
I’m Special is a voice about his experiences as a gay man growing up with cerebral palsy and being gay. His humor and moving memoir will bring out many emotions but also educate many on the challenges of living with cerebral palsy, which many know very little about and the extra challenge of being gay on top of having his disease.
