A collection of books by a range of disabled authors exploring what it means to navigate a world that isn’t built with accessibility in mind. Personal stories with sharp insight, these works challenge what we think we know about disability, chronic illness, mental health, neurodiversity, the myth of recovery, and what it means to belong.

Books Featuring Disability
Diverse Baseline Challenge
These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.
This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.
Memoirs More Interesting Than Fiction
Everyone has a story, and some people get to tell them in a memoir.
Rare disabilities
Often called rare diseases, but these would be more accurately classified under the disability umbrella
Not meant as a way to fetishise or sensationalise the experiences of real people, more to create understanding from a social and biological perspective
