"Disability is understood as any physical, mental, developmental, cognitive, learning, communication, sight, hearing, or functional limitation that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders a person's full and equal participation in society.
Not every author on this list may identify as being disabled. In particular, we received multiple recommendations for books by authors on the autism spectrum. Some autistic people would present autism as a difference, not a disability. However, our goal is to raise awareness of authors with diverse abilities, and we are including those books in these recommendations." -TPL
