Despite having reading challenges, 37-year-old man becomes Cambridge university youngest professor

A young man named Jason Arday has been promoted to the rank of professorship in Cambridge University at the young age of 37 despite having reading challenges.

Jason Arday is Clapham, south-west London native who is a renowned Sociologist in the United States. He was diagnosed with global development delay and an autism spectrum disorder at the age of three.

This diagnosis caused him delay in his motor skills as a young child. He could not speak until he was 11 years old and could not read or write until he was 18 years old.

Jason said in an interview with BBC that he spent much of his young days with speech and language therapists. One of four children of his parent, he always wished to become a football player or a professional snooker player.

Jason added that if he was not going to be a sports personality, he plans to save the world as he has always been deeply moved by the suffering of others and has a strong compulsion to act.

“I remember thinking if I don’t make it as a football player or a professional snooker player, then I want to save the world,” he says.

Jason said growing up, watching videos of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison and South Africa’s historic victory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup inspired him to help make the world a better place despite his condition.
