Despite knowing a lot of this information already, I took a lot away from this book. It’s fantastic as a first stop on your journey of learning about the disability community. I will be returning to it and recommending it often.

Very informative & easy to read. I could see this being categorized as a young adult NF. I went into this thinking of myself as knowing more on this topic than the average person. There was so much I hadn’t heard before, especially the history of the disability rights movement.
My only criticism is that by trying to present many thoughts on disability and disability etiquette, she came off a bit contradictory. I appreciate she was trying to be thorough. However, It may have been more impactful to just write from her perspective and acknowledge broadly that others may not feel this way vs. trying to present a counter argument in the next line.

I live in a weird place where I have an invisible disability and I struggle with whether I “deserve” to call myself disabled. Either way, as either a fellow disabled person or a supporter of the disability movement (or both?!) I very much enjoyed how easy and accessible and inclusive this book is. It’s a safe space to learn and I definitely recommend it. (I *did* feel externally validated when one of the anecdotes highlighted not my disorder specifically, but my most major symptom. It was nice to feel included
