Disability is not a bad thing, the system is
A collection of mostly Non-Fiction books about disability and why it sucks to be disabled in the system. Note: Not all books are about disability, I put a few on this list because I think they would fit in with the idea of the list pretty well 2nd note: I haven't read all books yet Last note: I explained in a comment why I added some books

Since I added a few books that are (not necessary) about disability in this system, I will add my thoughts on why I added the books I have read. I added a few that sounded interesting and could fit the theme, but I need some time to read them. : The Yellow Wall-Paper: What it's like to be a chronically illwoman who experiences medical gaslighting. -> Classics, Gothic Horror
Love, Theoretically: What it's like to be a chronically ill woman who works in science in the US. -> Romance
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth: What it'S like to be an autistic trans man in a transphobic and ableistic world. -> Gothic Horror, Gore, Fantasy
The Future Is Disabled: Notes about disability in the current world and how we survive in this world. -> Nonfiction
Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century: Since many disabled people are invisible, we need more visilibity and stories FROM the disabled person. -> Nonfiction
Six of Crows: Disabled teens are surviving in a rough city, while trying to get the best of their disability. -> Fantasy, Adventure
I recently read The Year I Met My Brain about ADHD, I think it would fit really well!
