Welcome to The World According to Me. I’ve been sharing my observations about popular culture and life with a disability, mixed with some short stories and reviews since December 2018.
Following the publication of my book, Disability is Other People: My Superhero Story in July 2024, I made my most recent posts for subscribers only. There are more than 75 posts to enjoy and a new one every month – an absolute bargain for just £10 a year!
Join me as I navigate life as a disabled person, husband, dad, and activist with an MBE.
