Peter skipped one year of high school, did college in three years, got his BA at twenty and now has two MAs and a Ph.D. He's married and has two sons. He also has a different diagnosis: Nonverbal Learning Disability. In "Screwed Up Somehow but Not Stupid," Peter describes what it's like to live life with a learning disability, but also with some abilities.
