Disability Versus Disability - Is There Something That's Missing?
The book asks us to see how we become so affixed to what we think is exceptional and that that can actually, you know, kind of work in contradictory or contrary ways. So disability imagined as exceptional if it's a sort of tragedy narrative where the intent was to kill, but it failed and so death didn't happen. And again, you're supposed to be grateful that death Didn't Happen. In both cases that exceptionalizing move is about subtracting maybe even empirically, like demographically, materially almost the majority of what's going on.
