Disabled person: "As a disabled person, I think..." Abled person: "I'm a special ed teacher who's interrupting this conversation to tell you that, unless you call yourself a person with a disability, you're dehumanizing yourself. You're a PERSON!!!" #HowToPissOffDisabledPeople

Discussions around internalised ableism, cures, acceptance etc can't be reduced to one size fits all statements.

Acceptance of yourself does not always require loving your disabilities and hating your impairments does not always mean internalised ableism.

In a nuanced, thorough review, @guysmiley22 takes a look at R.J. Palacio's book WONDER and its complexly flawed representation of facial disfigurement. disabilityinkidlit.com/2018/01/19/rev…

While an "engaging, enjoyable" read, WONDER also features several problems in its representation of disfigurement, as @guysmiley22 discusses in her review. disabilityinkidlit.com/2018/01/19/rev…

Oh nothing, I'm just here reading students' final reflections on the many #diversebooks they chose BY THEIR OWN DAMN SELVES after I listed links like @debreese, @LatinosInKidLit, @DisabilityInLit, etc, bc @diversebooks DO sell & DO get read, but only if people know they're there!

This piece includes two reviews, one from a 10yo. I found both reviews very interesting! Definitely adding A BOY CALLED BAT to my TBR. x.com/disabilityinli…

"Seeing how Bat feels, as opposed to how he is perceived" is A BOY CALLED BAT's strength, according to our reviewer: disabilityinkidlit.com/2017/10/20/rev…
