Bright new voice sharing a new way for us to look at disability. Some of her truths are difficult to hear and accept, but they are real, genuine and legitimate. The ablism of "non-disabled" people can be cutting and hurtful. We need to look through the eyes of the disabled to really see what is needed and, maybe more importantly, what is not.

what a book! i really loved the author's writing style. it was easy to read. easy to understand. and a great starting place for disability studies. Taussig puts things in a very easy to follow way. she's intelligent, funny, relatable and self-aware. and i really enjoyed listening to her thoughts and stories about issues of disability and access
