Growing Up Disabled in Australia edited by Carly Findlay

Growing Up Disabled in Australia edited by Carly Findlay

Growing Up Disabled in Australia is an incredible anthology that reveals much about a side of Australian society that is often overlooked by mainstream media. With a wide range of contributors from all walks of life, each story feels completely unfiltered and raw, and inspired me to rethink everything I thought that I knew about disability. This book will make you laugh and cry, often both during the same story. It will also teach you how to be a better ally and is a must-read for anyone working in education or healthcare.
Growing Up Disabled in Australia gives a voice to those who are too often unseen or spoken for by others. It implores us to recognise that disability exists only when society chooses to make life inaccessible for those who exist outside of what is considered ‘normal’. Primarily, it teaches us that being different is not a condition that requires fixing, rather it is the broader attitudes and prejudices that make life difficult for so many that need to be changed.
