I’ve never been hugely into Disability Pride but it has felt more important than ever this year. The summer has seen a wave of demonisation and disbelief of disabled people. Our conditions are doubted, our needs depicted as burdens. I’m glad Who Wants Normal? can do its bit to challenge that.

This Disability Pride month, I’m grateful for the readers who say Who Wants Normal? is helping them feel more valued and confident. This book was never about downplaying inequality but proudly rejecting the shame and stereotypes the non-disabled world forces on us. With jokes.
