It was just fine. I would say this book is a good intro to see if you’d want to learn more about disability. The author provides a lot of recommendations to other sources for further reading which I will check out.
What I liked about it was that it made me think more about how I refer to myself or some of the ableist beliefs that were put on me abt myself.

- If you are an able-bodied person, DEMYSTIFYING DISABILITY is a great 101-level resource for everything from disability rights history to proper language to ensuring accessibility is always top of mind for any given event.
- Even if you think you have a handle on all thing disability, I'd still recommend checking it out. I realized when I got to the history section that I had little concept of disability rights activism before the Americans With Disabilities Act, and I learned a lot.
- The writing style of this book is friendly, a we're-in-this-together tone. It would be a great gift for a young reader given the tone and simplicity of the writing, since disability and accessibility issues are generally not taught in schools.
