This book attempts to explain, to nondisabled people as well as to many disabled ones, how the world and self-perceptions of disabled people are changing. It looks at the rise of what is called the disability rights movement--the new thinking by disabled people that there is no pity or tragedy in disability and that it is society's myths, fears, and stereotypes that most make being disabled difficult.\"\u003c\/i\u003e--from the Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph P.
