Bailed

Wow, I was going to start this book, but all the reviews on here and on Goodreads are saying it is completely ableist and full of slurs??? So I just decided to bail.

megnews If that‘s the case how on earth was it published?! That‘s a shame 3y

This was so, so ableist. The depiction of CP was ableist. The depiction of autism was ableist. The depiction of Alzheimer disease was ableist. Proximity to disabled people doesn‘t give you insight into what it‘s like to be disabled.

LiteraryinPA When I read this, I missed that aspect. But I want to understand. Can you share an example of what you mean? 5y

ness @LiteraryinLititz Here‘s a thread on Twitter that goes over it: https://twitter.com/aaronlinguini/status/1261670980155572224?s=21 But the tl:dr is that there is a lot of ableist language (crippled, wheelchair bound), a lot of ableism around developmental disabilities and autism in Bert, and the entire thing hit me as “things ableds think disabled folks think about.” (edited) 5y
