Everyday Disability and Chronic Illness

I loved this book! Each short story made my disabled heart full and left me bathing in the comfort of our beautiful, diverse community. A must read for every disabled person and every ally. – Rosie Jones, Comedian, Actor and Writer
Reading this book I experienced moments of laughter and deep reflection. There is a story for everyone to relate to in here with a collection of powerful stories told by multiple magnificent personalities we get a flavour of throughout. Yeah, the book will make you think and make you feel uncomfortable but it will also give you so much joy! – Georgia Vine, Founder of Not So Terrible Palsy
It is through sharing our stories that we connect in a meaningful way to those around us. These unique and deeply personal stories should be valued as an insight into each author’s courage, inner strength, hope, resilience, joy and defiance. – Beth Moulam, Doctor of Health (hc), Disability Advocate, Paralympian
In a time when Disabled people and those with chronic illnesses are being falsely lumped into one monolithic group, this book highlights the diversity in our stories. Their pain, humour, joy and of the quirks that make them so human. We may be beautifully unique but there is also a commonality connecting us in our experiences, and this book reminds us of that. – Sophie Butler, Writer and Creator
Honest, witty and long overdue. Disability is too often treated as a personal misfortune rather than a public failure. These writers turn that framing on its head. Many of the barriers they describe are not a consequence of impairment; they are a construct, designed, signed off and budgeted for. This collection shows exactly where the promises fail, in exam halls, HR meetings and hospital notes, but its real achievement is claiming joy. Essential reading for anyone who leads, manages or calls themselves inclusive. – Sophia Moreau, Founder of Resolvance and Moreau & Co.
