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.
