Good point. Our experience is what I think make us a group. Everyone has their own way of framing their own perception of this and deciding where they do or don't belong. Obviously, SOMETHING has brought us to this group, as anyone reading this has not yet unsuscribed :-)
I don't know when your paper is due, Nicki, but I just looked up disability studies books at Amazon, and there are a few. I think one that I liked was by Sharon L Snyder. People have degrees in this very subject(s). Another book I read was No Pity, which was pretty good. If the paper is just on what you think, then go for it. We do have the opportunity these days to read up on it since we are gaining understanding of the way social constructs work for or against us. It's deep.
