The pieces functions through very personal stories, the real lived experiences of the authors. There is usually one or two common themes in these stories as the author places the disability lens over certain topics. They usually present the problem: marginalization, impostor syndrome, facing oppression and othering, and end with a fairly positive outcome of their experience. Most of these outcomes are internal, of acceptance or finding a community, with some expressing a call for change, to provide to charities and to open up the line for conversation and in-depth discussion.

The book features diabled stories, but could be especially valuable to abled people as well. For the book’s disabled audience, it serves to be a sort of crip space, where stories of disabled people are open to be shared in all their complexity. For the abled audience, this book serves to be both informative, by making an effort to share these stories and call to action that change that has to be made to accommodate disabled people. It explains how accessibility would help everyone once it is achieved. Through innovation, contribution, research and spreading awareness, disabled people would not only be seen, but also heard and accommodated for. 

It explored the complexity of allyship, found within family, friends and in the workplace, although the latter of the three is more in light with the importance of accessibility, and the awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of everyone who occupies a space. When it comes to fields and the workplace, employers keeping an openness to disability would only serve to welcome new perspectives into the workforce, Wanda Díaz-Merced shares her story with her unique perspective, “I think science is for everyone. It belongs to the people, and it has to be available to everyone, because we are all natural explorers” (172).” Not only is the workforce in need new voices, but there are many social aspects of disability that people ought to learn more about. 

Alternative options for disabled people to participate in traditions that usually abled people could participate in without issue. Maysoon Zayid explored such limitations, saying ““I miss fasting, but I’m happy to take on my newest mission of reminding those who can’t fast that there is no reason to put themselves at risk. Muslims fast so they can suffer a little. It is important not to die in the process.” (Pg. 38)” The physical availability of the world is also of importance, Sandy Ho  explains that, “As a marginalized disabled person I want it all: for all of us to remain as fixtures in our shared worldviews, for the space to do more than survive, and for our voices and presence to experience the indelible freedom that comes with being louder.”(116) The world has perpetuated the idea that the abled person is to be catered to whilst disabled people must struggle to find spaces for them to be allowed to fit in, this book explains how backwards that logic is in the most personal of stories.
