Non-fiction books about disability by disabled authors

I'm always looking for good disability rep in a good story, both fiction and non. Note on The Luminaries: specifically included for its rep of a MC who needs glasses, where it isn’t forgotten by the 2nd half of the story. Note on Set the Record Straight: I’ve chosen to focus on physical disabilities/chronic illnesses in this list - this is the exception. I thought it had such a good rep of neurodiversity that I had to include it.

Often called rare diseases, but these would be more accurately classified under the disability umbrella
