This is a fantastic and quick read that I would recommend for literally anyone. New to nonfiction? Read this book. Think you're already familiar with the topic? Nah, read this book.
I think, regardless of your familiarity with ableism and how it presents historically and in current society, this is still an accessible reminder that we all still carry unintended biases around disability.
I read this via audio- which I highly recommend if you enjoy audiobooks.
For me, the chapter around Neurodiversity really hit hard, but it was all very informative.
