Kids with physical, mental, and learning disabilities often ride the short bus to special-ed classes. Jonathan Mooney rode a short bus because of his learning disabilities. He also went on to graduate with honors from Brown University. Recently he bought an old short bus and traveled across the US to visit people who were also considered different, limited, not normal. His book about the journey is The Short Bus: A Journey Beyond Normal.
