- Practical scripts and sample language for handling uncomfortable or unfamiliar conversations
- Real-world guidance on offering assistance, declining help politely, and responding to ableism
- Advice for complicated moments, from bad dates and weddings to parenting and public encounters
- Creative extras, including sample dating profiles and 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 with greater confidence, empathy, and humor.
