I think one of the most interesting points she makes throughout the entire book is how personal and individualized disability is. There are many examples of this, however one of the most pointed stories she shares is at the very end of the book when she is talking about her trip to England. She describes how while looking on websites for accessible hotels she found one that looked suitable and when they showed up there were stairs between the dining room and their room, however the hotel claimed that there were "only" six steps. I just wanted to talk about the everchanging and individualized definition of accessible and disabled. How is it possible to make our world "accessible" when there is no one definition of disabled?
