"You want to go for a career in STEM? Really What about your...uh....problem?" This surprising and highly disturbing line is what stops thousands of people every year from pursuing what they love: STEM. Research shows that from a young age, individuals with disabilities are discouraged from pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, leading them to believe that they aren't "good enough" for these traditionally "difficult" fields. This is, obviously, far from the truth. Anyone can progress in STEM, as long as they have the passion and resilience to do so. In his book, author M. Zohaib Khalid recounts the stories of eight such individuals from different backgrounds and various fields within STEM, and discusses how they overcame their challenges to become successful. With the aim of promoting inclusivity in STEM, he highlights the key factors behind these individuals' success' and shows what you can do to make your own dreams come true.
