Disabilities

[worldstosee]

This time around I'm looking for recommendations for books by authors with disabilities / characters with disabilities. In the case of characters - please try to only recommend a book if you really know for sure that the disability is portrayed well/accurately. Thank you.

Are you familiar with the Vorkosigan saga? The main character, Miles Vorkosigan, was exposed to a toxin before he was born, and the result is that his bones are very brittle. I don't know if I can say it's accurate, since the toxin was made up and the effects were at the author's discretion, but with the caveat that I am a physically abled person and have no personal experience with the matter, I thought it was very well done.

Thank you for the rec. Someone mentioned that series a while back when I was asking a similar question (different forum) but I never got around to reading it then. I should check that one out some time.
