any type of disability is fine here; include mental illness if you believe it fits

The protagonist of Mis(h)adra has epilepsy (as does the author/illustrator #ownvoices).

Kate, what book was this? I have a family member with epilepsy.

I listened to the audiobook version of Out of My Mind, recommended by my tween/teen daughters. The story is of course the star, but it's a well-done audio version. (I had first started Wonder but I didn't click with its narration.) I definitely recommend it if you haven't yet read this book.

Not if I See You First’s protagonist is blind. Love the fact it was just a part of her, not all consuming.

I just finished "Natural Disaster: I Cover Them. I am One." by Ginger Zee. She's a meteorologist for ABC, and this is a really interesting look at how she has worked to handle issues with her mental illness in conjunction with a very visible, high-pressure career.
