Dating Disability : 15 Stories of Dealing with the BS and Building Confidence

But in Dating Disability: 15 Stories of Dealing with the BS and Building Confidence, Emily Goodson invites readers to explore her experiences with romance, relationships, and a relentless pursuit of self-acceptance.

From the vulnerable years of childhood, where the world''s gaze magnified her differences, to the uncharted territories of adulthood, where reality and societal expectations clashed with her yearning for intimacy, Dating Disability is a raw and honest exploration of why our differences make us beautiful even when the world would have us think otherwise.

Each of the fifteen stories within this book act as a window into pivotal moments in Goodson’s life, revealing the intricate process of dismantling internal walls and providing takeaways for people looking to date, people in relationships, parents of young adults with disabilities, and many others.

Whether it''s the courage to challenge societal assumptions, the vulnerability to express authentic desires, or the unwavering commitment to self-acceptance, Goodson’s experiences provide a road map for navigating the complexities of life and building a foundation of confidence and self-worth.
