"People with disabilities are the largest minority in the world, and we are the most underrepresented in entertainment."

"Special" is a semi-autobiography series of actor-writer Ryan O'Connell. The show follows the life of Ryan, a gay man with Cerebral Palsy. Ryan decides to mask his identity by blaming his disability on an accident in order to go after the life that he wants. Even though Ryan isn't the most truthful about his disability in the show, he uses this "mask" as a way to help him finally have the life he has always wanted, living on his own, dating, making friends, working, etc. This show provides an accurate representation of what it is like to have CP but also shows that disabled people sometimes mask who they are to "fit in".

"Crip Camp" is a documentary about a summer camp held for teens with disabilities. Each summer, disabled teens would gather at this camp, engaging in activities, building friendships, and learning new life skills. This documentary shares the experiences that the teens had during their times at camp, sharing how it made them feel and how it changed their lives. It also focuses on the beginning of the Disability Rights Movement and the creation of 504. I LOVED this documentary and especially loved to learn about the huge part that Bay Area organizations had in the movement.

"Forgive Us Our Trespasses" is a short film that is taking place during the beginning of the Holocaust. A young boy with a missing limb realizes that his disability has made him a target. He fights for his life when the Nazis start to hunt down people with disabilities. This short film provides insight on the discrimination that happened towards disabled people during this time and also provides an alternate ending to what actually happened.

"Peanut Butter Falcon" follows the story of Zak, a man who has Down Syndrome, who escapes his residential nursing facility to follow his dream of becoming a pro wrestler. Zak befriends another man on the run, Tyler. Tyler becomes a coach to Zak and helps him pursue his dream. They go on the journey together to help Zak become a pro wrestler. This movie was amazing in the way that the actor who played Zak actually has Down Syndrome and it provided huge representation for disability in the media by having an actor who is disabled.

Schuyler’s Monster: A Father’s Journey with his Wordless Daughter is a memoir of a father’s experience and perspective of raising a daughter with a rare disability. Robert Rummel-Hudson, the author of the book, is the father to Schuyler. Robert and his wife, Julie, began having concerns about Schuyler’s lack of speech when she was around eighteen months old and they went through a journey of doctor’s visits, assessments, and various tests to determine what was the cause of her lack of speech. Schuyler was diagnosed with an extremely rare neurological disorder called bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria. I thought this book did a good job of portraying a real life story of a families journey and experience with disability and also provided some insight on how disabled individuals used AAC.

"Born This Way" is a reality show that features seven adults with Down Syndrome. The show follows them through their daily lives, such as going to work, hanging out with friends, going shopping, etc. This show highlights overcoming obstacles and working hard to achieve goals and needs. I think this show showed a lot of realness and accurately represented the lives of these individuals.

"Atypical" is a comedy show that follows the life of a teenager on the spectrum, Sam. Sam decides he wants to become more independent, such as dating, doing errands/chores himself, etc. His family, close friend, and girlfriend support him in his independence, but are always there to help him when needed. Although the actor that plays Sam is not autistic in real life, I thought that this show represented autism accurately.

This tiktok account is ran by a mother of a child who is Autistic. She shares a lot about the daily life of caring for her child and being a mother of an Autistic child. This account shares a lot of realness and vulnerability of what it is like to raise an Autistic child. I really appreciate the mother's honesty and advocacy that she shares throughout her videos. (Side note: she recently stopped sharing media on tiktok as tiktok kept banning/not taking action on her reports but I believe she is still sharing on instagram)

The Lost Girls of Willowbrook is a novel based off of the true story of Willowbrook State School. It follows the story of a young girl looking for her sister, who had recently found out that her sister went missing from the institution. After believing for years that her sister had been dead since a young age, Sage finds out that her sister was actually just sent to Willowbrook for her disability. A miscommunication happens when Sage arrives at the institution and is mistaken to be her missing sister instead. Even though this book mixes together fact and fiction, it still gives some insight on the horrible conditions that Sage experienced when at Willowbrook, highlighting the real life experiences that were actually happening at Willowbrook in the 70's, which I think is important for everyone to know about.
