Highly Recommended!" ~Stuart

"This book provides an interesting perspective on the world of dating as a disabled individual. Some things that everyone may consider in dating suddenly become more complex, challenges not normally thought of have to be overcome, and all the while not only is the world not build to accommodate people, ableism, whether conscious or subconscious, poses an additional challenge to the world. 

 

I’m glad the authors took the time to research and write about this subject. They presented the information in a really easy to understand way. The book is a good read for anyone regardless of whether the reader is disabled." ~Rebecca

"This was an amazing read. While it informs the reader of the challenges that can come with dating while disabled, it helps to provide a plethora of solutions and tips.

 

I love the range of people they interviewed and also the range of topics and communities. I learned a lot about how the disability community intersects with so many others and also how to navigate those communities if interested.

 

I appreciate the amount of resources provided and I love that throughout the book, it is a consistent reminder and affirmation that you are worthy and loved and you deserve to have the life that you want.

 

I would highly recommend this book for anybody - whether you're disabled or chronically ill or able bodied. It is informative and expands your worldview in many aspects." ~Hugh

"The authors write based on their own experiences and those of the many people they interviewed. They write with knowledge, compassion, inclusion, and humor.

 

Their bottom line that they return to again and again is to affirm the value of people living disabilities (which could be a book all by itself.)

 

Along the way, they also honor the stories that were shared with them and provide encouragement to those who already have to work harder to navigate the world to navigate the complicated and tricky world of dating and relationships.

 

Great read for those who are looking for this advice and guide, and for the non-disabled who can learn a lot from the experiences of the disabled." ~Sara
