A humorous take on what it's like to be a disabled adult. I highly recommend this book to anyone. It discusses how to interact with someone with a disability and dives deep into diversity and how to communicate effectively with adults.

From Tylia's list on overcoming challenges and obstacles of cerebral palsy.
