@celsient

does anyone have suggestions for books about disability, specifically living with and processing it? i got long covid in march '22 (and already had chronic pain + some cognitive things) and it's completely destroyed my memory, my ability to focus (additionally to adhd), my ability to think quickly, my energy, the amount of information i can process, etc etc etc. the brainfog is unbearable.

i've been reading a lot over the past few months because physical paper books don't make me overwhelmed like other things do, and i'd love some recommendations for touchstone reads about disability, disability theory, and whatever else people have found useful.

it took me a long time to realise i was disabled and a longer time to properly come to terms with the extent, and i'd really like to read some good literature to avoid any of the thought-process pitfalls that would result in me being harmful to myself and to other people.

thank you very much

(edit: thanks again!! i will slowly be making my way through the suggestions)
