• 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.

  entrepreneur, mathematician and radio host, Peres
  has his own stories of struggle before achieving
  his current social status.

• 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 Peres also 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.
