What Adults with Disabilities Wish All Parents Knew,
Reflections from a Different Journey
Edited by
Stanley D. Klein, Ph.D. and John D. Kemp
In the Afterword, Disability Culture, written by Kemp, it is stated that people with disabilities:
*have a heightened acceptance of human differences
* consider interdependence an essential aspect of our lives.
* use humor-the ability to find something funny in almost anything
* have an ability, acquired over time living with our disabilities, to read others’ attitudes and conflicts in order to deal with contradictory social messages.

This is a good book. I know we have a disability culture, although some doubt it, because those of us with disabilities have experienced things others haven't. Excellent to raise awareness of this!
