“I work at a children’s rehabilitation centre called KidsAbility in Waterloo. The essays in this collection are full of insight and I could hardly wait to get more copies to give to others at our Centre” – Janet Speight, MD

Between Myself And Them

Stories of Disability and Difference

For the first time, adults in their 20s share their real experiences living with disability. This collection of first-person narratives and dialogues is grouped into sections pertaining to different aspects of the writers’ lives, including education and work, family and relationships, health and wellness, self-image and sexual relations and includes photographs of the contributing authors.

Between Myself and Them is a rich and diverse set of stories that challenge a homogeneous interpretation of a group of individuals who are sometimes collectively referred to as “the disabled.” This book is a valuable resource for families, educators, libraries, community groups, and health and wellness professionals.
