so you want to read good disability rep
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 isnโt forgotten by the 2nd half of the story. Note on Set the Record Straight: Iโve 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.
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
