Reviews

Diverse group of authors talking about a diverse range of topics related to their various disabilities. Information about each author provided at the end; not all essays/memoirs include information about what disability the author has.

Great representation for disabled people; great humanization of disabled people and education about their experiences for non-disabled people and for people with different disabilities than those of the authors.

An excellent collection of essays on disability and chronic illness, drawn from the full/"adult" version of this book. I don't know why there needs to be a separate YA edition, but I suppose that the length and some of the essays are more suited to reading in classes or as families or with friends. I'm an advocate for disability issues, and would happily put this book into the hands of everyone I know, although the title is bizarre to me: visibility is working here in an ableist context.
