Edited by Carly Findlay, Growing Up Disabled in Australia offers a powerful collection of personal stories, told in the contributors' own voices. The book challenges societal barriers and redefines perceptions of disability, advocating for inclusivity and understanding.

These essays encompass a wide range of perspectives, from elders to young adults, and address physical, attitudinal, and social obstacles encountered while growing up. It champions disability pride and increased representation in media and literature, inviting readers to reflect on their own assumptions.
