Description

Throughout November and December, UWE Bristol Library is hosting Disability History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about disability history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's experiences of living with a disability.

We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep.

This book giveaway features Odd Girl Out: An Autistic Woman in a Neurotypical World by Laura James. An important book looking into the journey of Laura James who was diagnosed with autism in her mid-forties. She delves into how the diagnosis helped her understand herself better and come to the conclusion that 'different' doesn't mean 'less'.
