You're probably asking..

How this f**k is this relevant? 

To understand the issues people face, it's helpful to look back at how those issues come about. The disability is more than just a diagnosis, it can also be the barriers society has constructed.

This is a history of how we got here, with plenty of lessons on how to improve.
