Figure 1.1
Lived Experience Versus Social Narrative.
The image shows a wheelchair user on the left-hand side at the beginning of a line graph that, instead of progressing directly horizontally, dips in the middle to represent a chasm where ‘crip-dissonance’ occurs. This side of the line is labelled: ‘Reality of Disability – lived experience’. On the right, at the other end of the line, a non-disabled person stands. This side of the line is labelled: ‘Reality of Disability – Social Narrative’.
