A List of Cages by Robin Roe (ADHD, Dyslexia) Within this list, weвЂ™re highlighting 40 YA books that portrays disability representation with complexity, humor, and honesty. The disability community should be able to see themselves represented within the books they read and for these storylines and characters to be complex and multidimensional.

By gaining awareness and knowledge about the diversity of disabilities faced, it allows us to break down all the ways in which accommodations and changes need to be made without putting that work onto the disabled community themselves. The world is built for able-bodied and neurotypical brains, with little accommodations for anyone outside of these communities. (For more on this topic, we recommend the work of Jen Campbell, a long-time BookTuber and writer who is using her work online to educate others about disability representation in literature, media, and its personal implications.) These representations provide a realistic and authentic understanding of what it means to live with a disability. This makes books centering disabled and neurodivergent characters and storylines-especially from disabled writers- even more important. But this complexity is not often represented, and instead is usually stereotyped, misrepresented, or just not represented at all in a lot of media. While physical disabilities are often the first type of disability to pop to mind when discussing this community, it also includes individuals with different types of learning disabilities, chronic illnesses, physical impairments, and psychological disorders. Their power comes from their ability to make us feel seen and heard, or to connect us with experiences beyond our own and open our eyes to obstacles others face.

As readers, we know that books can be some of the most powerful tools in the world. Racial representation, representation of LGBTQ+ protagonists, diversity of body shapes and sizes.Д«ut in our ongoing conversations around diversity and inclusivity, one identity thatвЂ™s often overlooked the most is disability and neurodivergence. WeвЂ™ve been talking a lot about authentic representation here at Epic Reads.
