Reading for Disability Pride Month! As always, it's hard to rate a collection.

Well curated and organized with important stories.

Felt like this was a bit more for people new to these concepts/ideas. I was hoping for something a little more thought provoking.

A great collection of essays from people with disabilities. I've added tags for short stories and bio/memoirs because of the multiple essays and personal nature of them for myself to reference.

Many difference stories and perspectives really helped me get a greater understanding and introductions to a world. I enjoyed a majority of the stories and wished some where longer. I'm glad this was put together!

Caring about people means listening to what they have to say, and About Us gives the platform to people with disabilities. Definitely covers heavy topics, but they’re really important ones. Would widely recommend :)

OWN VOICES MATTER!

I would recommend this book to everyone, especially to non-disabled folks and/or people who have no regular and meaningful interactions with disabled people.

The essays in this collection are insightful, informative, authentic, and powerful.
