Description
"Dear Prudence" meets Reddit's Am I the Assh*le? but for the disability community: finally, all the questions you've always wanted to ask about living a disabled life, but shouldn't have (or have asked, but we wish you hadn't).

The go-to unfiltered resource for navigating questions disabled and non-disabled people have about relationships, social spaces, life milestones, and all the awkward, funny, terrible, heartwarming moments in between.

Deafblind author and disability rights activist Elsa Sjunneson answers questions nondisabled people are afraid to ask, and disabled people are tired of answering, perfect for fans of the advice column format and all its messy truth telling.

Beyond just the Q&A, you'll find:
  • sample dating app profiles
  • scripts and sample language you can steal
  • ableist bingo cards you'll never want to win

Sitting at the cross section of Alice Wong's Disability Visibility and Emily Ladau's Demystifying Disability, this is your one-size-fits-all resource for navigating a world steeped in ableism.

Discover how to navigate:
  • Bad dates
  • Worse dates
  • Weddings
  • Parenthood
  • Microaggressions
  • WTF moments

Plus the practical:
  • Whether/how to offer assistance to a blind person (and how to turn it down politely)
  • How to throw a baby shower for a disabled mom-to-be
  • How to handle when a comedian makes fun of your disability on stage 

With any luck, one day a book like this does not need to exist.
