I received an Advanced Readers Copy from Netgalley all opinions are my own.
I am an Autistic, Wheelchair User with multiple undiagnosed disabilities so as soon as I saw this book I knew I had to read it.
I definitely need to find more books like this!
It was really interesting but didn't cover topics in a way that was triggering for me, something that puts me off reading books that represent me especially non fiction.
It wasn't what I was expecting to read about but I loved it nonetheless. It covers a lot of topics I would never have thought about and I really found it interesting thinking about how disabled astronauts would be better prepared for space than pre-disabled people. (I have a huge interest in space and I am definitely going to research this further.)
I could relate to a lot of the struggles that were talked about and learnt a lot about other types of disabilities too.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about being disabled and how to be a better ally.
