In recognition of Disability Pride Month, which follows Pride Month, a recent article highlights eight new queer books that focus on disability.

Among these titles, there is an increasing representation of autistic individuals in queer literature, although the author expresses a desire for broader representation of other disabilities.

One notable work is 'You Weren’t Meant to Be Human' by Andrew Joseph White, an adult novel featuring an autistic trans man navigating a post-apocalyptic world and personal relationships.

'Swept Away at Witch Camp' is a picture book that tells the story of a Deaf child exploring her identity at a magical camp, promoting themes of acceptance and self-worth.

Another significant title is 'Notes from a Queer Cripple' by Andrew Gurza, which offers self-help advice for queer disabled individuals, alongside the anthology 'Trans and Disabled' that addresses issues of ableism and transphobia.

'Hardly Creatures' presents an experimental poetry collection in an accessible art museum format, exploring queer relationships.

'Star Fruit' narrates the journey of a gay autistic teenager who organizes a theater production while facing adversity, emphasizing themes of friendship and resilience.

Additionally, 'Sad Girl Hours' follows the romantic journey of two university students as they navigate mental health challenges and identity exploration.

Lastly, 'The Golden Boy’s Guide to Bipolar' focuses on a queer teenager dealing with mental health issues while reconciling with past relationships.
