Disability in Kidlit
Disability in Kidlit discusses the portrayal of disability in MG and YA fiction. We review books featuring major disabled characters, discuss tropes, and offer advice to authors wanting to include disabled characters in their works.
Although we focus on MG and YA novels by major publishers, much of what we post can be applied to all fiction and other media (and real life, too).
The main project is housed at our website, but we'll be cross-posting excerpts and reblogging relevant content here.
Looking for books featuring characters with a certain disability? Feel free to send an ask!

Abed, you’re special, can’t you just stand at the scene of the crime and see what happens?
If you’ve ever wondered what a mic drop looks like, please refer to the final gif.
YES.
[gifset of Abed from the TV series community: he’s walking around a room with a pensive, serious look on his face. He says, “I see a man–using a social disorder as a procedural device. Wait wait wait, I see another man. Mildly autistic super detectives everywhere…Basic cable… broadcast networks… pain … painful writing … it hurts.” In the final image, he drops the serious expression and walks out of the room.]
