Diamond Doval (diamondjewelsdoval) | 3 comments Book Description: Ableism in Education, is based on Diamond's difficulty fitting into school at a young age. She felt like an outcast because, in her heart, she knew she was different from everyone else at school. But what she learns about herself will change her life forever, including her educational experiences as an individual who has been victimized by ableism. Would she accept herself for who she is? How will she discover her purpose in life? What problems does she encounter along the way? What impacted her life and education experiences? There are many questions to be answered!

Ableism in Education is to encourage people with disabilities and without disabilities to face those challenging obstacles that may get in their way of conquering what life has to offer them, they should know that their disabilities do not define who they are, and they are not alone, their disabilities is another way to describe their hidden unique talent, they should not let ableism get in the way of their success in life because their path towards their success is yet to be determined, and only they can unlock their full potential!

I wrote this book to show how I evolved through my experiences with ableism. I hope to guide and inspire people as I publish books based on my life experiences. I also hope to support people with disabilities. The inspiration behind the book, Ableism in Education, resembles the saying, Never judge a book by its cover; this means that you should never express a judgment against someone or something based on what you see on the outside or perceive without knowing the situation.

Want to know what obstacles Diamond encountered throughout her educational journey?

I am looking for book reviews for my new book, What Today Withholds: Autism and Human Rights in America

This is a non-fiction book, based on extensive research, but also the voices of autistic people themselves, describing their experiences.

Selene | 3 comments I'd be happy to. I just replied to you elsewhere on GR before I saw that you're actively looking for reviewers. As I wrote, I have a minor following in the #actuallyautistic community. I also have some connections in several Disability Studies programs, particularly through David Mitchell & Sharon Snyder, as well as at Texas A&M. I just participated in a seminar there as the author of "Troubleshooting", which has scenes set in an institution based on the JRC.

A review from you would be terrific. The book is not actually intended for the #actuallyautistic community, because they know this stuff all too well. (Although I'm very grateful if anyone from the community wants to look at it.) The book is directed at policy makers who could potentially make things better, and I am especially interested right now in getting it into disability studies programs. Let me know how we proceed from here. Do I put my email up on Goodreads? Direct you to my website. Thanks.
