  abstract: People with disabilities are the world's largest minority, an estimated fifteen percent of the global population. But many of us, disabled and nondisabled alike, don't know how to act, what to say or how to be an ally to the disability community. 'Demystifying Disability' is a friendly handbook on the important disability issues you need to know about, including how to appropriately think, talk and ask about disability, recognizing and avoiding ableism (discrimination toward disabled people), practicing good disability etiquette, ensuring accessibility becomes your standard practice, from everyday communication to planning special events, appreciating disability history and identity and, identifying and speaking up about disability stereotypes in media. Authored by celebrated disability rights advocate, speaker and writer, Emily Ladau, this practical, intersectional guide offers all readers a welcoming place to understand disability as part of the human experience.
