stuff mondays – growing up disabled in australia

Did you know one in five Australians has a disability? Disability presents itself in many ways, and looks and feels different for every person, yet we don’t often get to hear about the diversity of these experiences. In Growing Up Disabled in Australia (the latest book in the Growing Up series), over forty writers share their first-hand stories of disability. The contributors come from all walks of life, span generations, cultures and sexualities, and live with conditions including chronic illness and mental illness. Put together by writer and activist Carly Findlay, Growing Up Disabled in Australia is an illuminating read. It's proof that representation matters – and it might just change the way you think about the world, too. To celebrate the book’s release, we’re giving away five copies over this-a-way. Good luck, chums!
