Speaking not only to those with disabilities, but also to their families, coworkers and support networks, the authors in About Us offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them... the stories here reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as "disabled" by the broader public.

The Secret Life of Stories : From Don Quixote to Harry Potter, How Understanding Intellectual Disability Transforms the Way We Read / by Berube, Michael F.,1961-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Acknowledgment--Introduction: Stories--Chapter One Motive--Chapter Two Time--Chapter Three Self-Awareness--Conclusion: Minds--About the AuthorNarrative informs everything we think, do, plan, remember, and imagine. We tell stories and we listen to stories, gauging their well-formedness within a couple of years of learning to walk and talk. Some argue that the capacity to understand narrative is innate to our species; others claim that while that might be so, the invention of writing then re-wired our brains. In The Secret Life of Stories, Michael Berube tells a dramatically different tale, in a compelling account of how an understanding of intellectual disability can transform our understanding of narrative. Instead of focusing on characters with disabilities, he shows how ideas about intellectual disability inform an astonishingly wide array of narrative strategies, providing a new and startling way of thinking through questions of time, self-reflexivity, and motive in the experience of reading. Interweaving his own stories with readings of such texts as Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Kingston's The Woman Warrior, and Philip K. Dick's Martian Time-Slip, Berube puts his theory into practice, stretching the purview of the study of literature and the role of disability studies within it. Armed only with the tools of close reading, Berube demonstrates the immensely generative possibilities in the ways disability is deployed within fiction, finding in them powerful meditations on what it means to be a social being, a sentient creature with an awareness of mortality and causality, and sentience itself. Persuasive and witty, Michael Berube engages Harry Potter fans and scholars of literature alike. For all readers, The Secret Life of Stories will fundamentally change the way we think about the way we read.

The anti-ableist manifesto : smashing stereotypes, forging change, and building a disability-inclusive world / by Yu, Tiffany,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The "Anti-Ableist Manifesto" defines ableism as discrimination in favor of non-disabled people and helps readers understand that ending discrimination begins with self-reflection. Tiffany Yu celebrates the power of stories and lived experiences to foster the proximity, intimacy, and humanity of disability identities that have far too often been "othered" and rendered invisible. As the Asian American daughter of immigrants, living with PTSD and a permanent arm injury sustained at age nine, Yu is well aware of the intersections of identity that affect us all. She navigated the male-dominated world of corporate finance as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs before founding Diversability, an award-winning community business run by disabled people building disability pride, power, and leadership. Organized from the personal to the professional, the domestic to the political, the Me to the We to the Us, The "Anti-Ableist Manifesto" frames context for conversations, breaks down the language of ableism, identifies microaggressions, and proposes real actions that lead to genuine and authentic allyship: - How do we remove ableist language from our daily vocabulary? - What are the advantages of hiring disabled employees? - How do we create inclusive events? - What market opportunity are we missing out on when we don't consider disabled consumers? "The Anti-Ableist Manifesto" is an essential book for any ally to go beyond mere awareness to being an active anti-ableist and help form a more equitable society for all"--Part 1.
