Hi everyone -

For a book about "inter-enabled" couples (long-term relationships in which
one member has a permanent disability and the other doesn't), I'm looking
for sources to interview by phone and/or email.  Ideally, both members of
the relationship would participate, but at this point I'd be happy to
interview individuals too, if necessary.

 

Please note that I'm a quad myself, though from a genetic neurological
disability, not a SCI, and I've been married to a nondisabled woman for 24
years.  Issues I hope to explore include:

 

dating

caregiving

reactions from your parents and friends

dividing household chores

parenting

aging and changing health

 

Thanks very much in advance.  And please feel free to share this wherever
appropriate.  I think there is a good book here, and so does my agent, but I
need to gather enough info to put together a solid pitch for publishers.

 

Best,
Ben
