Queer and Disabled
Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

Got a few reccs for ya!
Hearing Red, Nicole Maser - Sapphic romance in the Z apoc, with blindness and asthma rep between the 2 MC's.
A Witches Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna - One of the kids in the main found family group is autistic and there is a sapphic couple in the group too.
Survival Kit by AH Haga - chronic illness rep (Severe ME) in the zombie apocalypse. A sapphic couple try to get out of their infested city whilst navigating the huge extra complication of one wife's ME.
Fantastic list! I love me some intersectionality in my reading!
I have a few suggestions! (i linked them all on PB)
- Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice - focuses on queer BIPOC disabled people
- I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves - it's half memoir/fictionized on a gay man with cerebral palsy (there is also the netflix show)
- Leg: The Story of a Limb and the Boy Who Grew from It - memoir by a queer man with cerebral palsy
also a fiction book:
- truthfully, yours - bi, autistic FMC, romance
Thanks so much! I added all of these to the list.
I'd recommend 'Like Real People Do'! The main character, Elijah, has epilepsy due to a TBI and uses a service dog!
Added! Thanks so much for the rec.
I think the Punk as Puck series by E.M Lindsey fits this list :)
Don’t remeber it being perfect rep (I’ve studied DID and Schizophrenia pretty intensely on my own) but Love Me Whole by Nicky James is DID and sweet.
Thanks kindly; added!
