Part one of an overview of how to write about disability in a more realistic way.
Summary:
1. Disabled characters can be at the centre of stories which aren't all about disability.
2. Disability can be part of the plot of great stories.
3. People with long-term impairments or chronic illness are not fascinated by their own condition or their own symptoms.
4. Disabled people are not all young, white, straight, affluent men.
5. Disabled people go bad for a reason.
