When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community.

Unfocused and controversial
Revisado: 08-27-24
This book is written just to console disabled people. It does not have any focus as touches upon so many social issues at the same time outside of disability. Mostly tryes to portray "white western Europeans" as evil. I will suggest the author to read more facts published by WHO and UN about the level of health, development, educational abilities between different countries. There is so much controversy in here - "we should celebrate disability", "People who have dwarfism experience disability, because everything is built too tall.", "People think that walking is a wonderful thing, we do not question it, and think it is worthwhile," etc. And what does homosexuality rights have to do with the topic of disability that the author pushes forward so hard. I personally did not like the book. This is an honest opinion from a social science student.
