Diary of a Lonely Boy
Dear Reader,
Welcome to my story, where disability and resilience intersect. Living with cerebral palsy and using a wheelchair has shaped my life in profound ways, presenting both unique benefits and challenges. While I've developed resilience and advocate for inclusivity, I continue to face daily hurdles related to independence and accessibility.
In this essay-style book, I share my personal experiences, thoughts, and perspectives on navigating a world that isn't always accommodating. From the barriers I encountered in the classroom to insights gleaned from pop culture, I invite you to join me on this candid journey.
Come with an open mind and heart, and discover the realities – the highs and lows – of life with cerebral palsy. Together, let's redefine inclusion and explore the complexities of living with a disability in an ever-changing world.
