Disability is Other People

My Superhero Story
A memoir for anyone feeling alone and scared, and for people coming to terms with a new and frightening condition. Richard Brown embarks on a quest for identity and meaning in a world that labelled him by his condition.

Disability is Other People: My Superhero Story is not a story about overcoming disability but living well with it. Drawing on experience and humour, Richard shares everything he has learned through his triumphs and mistakes, deconstructs traditional perspectives on disability and draws out the links to other oppressed communities struggling for Equality. He shows how the attitudes and behaviours of Other People are disabling forces. He considers some of the big issues he has faced along the way: Hope, Death, Ableism, The Media, and Political Correctness. 

It is not until Richard retires that he realises that volunteering and getting to know Other People is actually the core value in life. He shows us how we can make the world a better place and offers his own advice on how to live with disability. As 14 years of austerity and the trauma of the pandemic sharpen his developing activism, does he have Superpowers after all?
