Kathy O'Connell shares that she's working on a new book about dating and relationships with a disability — a follow-up to her earlier book Firewalk: Embracing Different Abilities.

The book focuses on two key themes:

Why she needs YOUR help:

The heart of the book will be real stories from real people. Kathy is collecting experiences through a short survey — whether you've lived with a disability and experienced sexual ableism in dating, or witnessed it happen to someone you love. The survey has three main questions, and you can optionally leave contact info if you're open to a follow-up interview.

"Data and statistics don't change people's minds. Our stories do — because they are real, human, and powerful."

📋 Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey — your story could be in the book and help shift how the world thinks about love, disability, and who deserves connection.

And share it with anyone in your life who might have a story to tell! 💙
