This essay collection, edited by disabled activist and bestselling writer Alice Wong, explores themes of disability, intimacy, and relationships, showing us how love and care can be expressed across a range of disabled experiences.

Favorite Quote

Disabled love is spun from respect and mutuality, not reciprocity. Disabled love isn't about keeping score or competing to give the most. Disabled love doesn't demand consistency or perfection. Disabled love asks us to love ourselves first and foremost.

Nicole Lee Schroeder, writer

Introduction

Whether you have a physical disability, chronic illness, or neurodivergence, some days will be more challenging than others as you navigate the ups and downs of disabled life.

Even things like intimacy, especially when assistants and caretakers are involved, can look different for those of us with disabilities than for non-disabled individuals.

Alice Wong is a bestselling author and the founder and director of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community raising awareness about disabled experiences and disability culture.

In her 2024 publication, Disability Intimacy: Essays on Love, Care, and Desire, she brings together a range of voices to highlight the different ways love, care, and desire manifest for those with disabilities.
