Hello! I was born with a terminal condition that disables me and I’m pretty passionate about representation of that because I find people often think in black and white “this person has a terminal illness like cancer but they’re abled otherwise” or “this person has a disability that affects them day to day but they’re not going to die”. Do you know of any recs for characters that are both disabled and terminally ill? I fear it’s just me and Viktor Arcane out here
Hello!
Unfortunately, this isn't the kind of thing we usually answer as we're primarily a blog for writing advice. I'd suggest checking out @thedisabilitybookarchive or @identity-library for databases of disabled characters.
Some folks may also be able to drop specific recommendations in the notes here.
Cheers,
