The Disabled Child: Memoirs of a Normal Future tracks the narratives that have emerged from the community of parent-memoirists who, since the 1980s, have written in resistance of their children's exclusion from culture. Though the disabilities represented in the genre are diverse, the memoirs share a number of remarkable similarities; they are generally written by white, heterosexual, middle or upper-middle class, ablebodied parents, and they depict narratives in which the disabled child overcomes barriers to a normal childhood and adulthood. Apgar demonstrates that in the process of telling these stories, which recuperate their children as productive members of society, parental memoirists write their children into dominant cultural narratives about gender, race, and class. By reinforcing and buying into these norms, Apgar argues, "special needs" parental memoirs reinforce ableism at the same time that they're writing against it. 410 0$aCorporealities. 606 $aParents of developmentally disabled children$xBiography$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aParents of developmentally disabled children$xBiography$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChildren with disabilities in literature$xHistory and criticism$y20th century 606 $aChildren with disabilities in literature$xHistory and criticism$y21st century 606 $aChildren with disabilities$xBiography$xHistory and criticism$y20th century 606 $aChildren with disabilities$xBiography$xHistory and criticism$y21st century 606 $aChildren with disabilities$xCare$xHistory and criticism$y20th century 606 $aChildren with disabilities$xCare$xHistory and criticism$y21st century 606 $aDiscrimination against people with disabilities 615 0$aParents of developmentally disabled children$xBiography$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aParents of developmentally disabled children$xBiography$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChildren with disabilities in literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChildren with disabilities in literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChildren with disabilities$xBiography$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChildren with disabilities$xBiography$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChildren with disabilities$xCare$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChildren with disabilities$xCare$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aDiscrimination against people with disabilities. 676 $a649.151 700 $aApgar$b Amanda$01272480 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910632879203321 996 $aThe disabled child$93085971 997 $aUNINA
