People in wheelchairs are people first and wheelchair users second. Ian is a normal man with a man's reactions to women – but he didn't get advice about dealing with his sexual feelings. He's open about this and about how he deals with it. It made me realise that we need to completely rethink our approach not just to illnesses such as DMD but to the '''people''' who suffer from them. Ian's doing his bit to make things better for all DMD sufferers – have a look at his [http://duchennemen.net16.net/about.html website] and click on the link opposite to watch his video.
Ian published this book to make as many people as possible aware of this dreadful disease and what sufferers go through. Normally I get quite irritated if I find spelling or grammatical mistakes in books, but I was surprised to find that this time it really didn't matter at all. This is Ian telling his story in his own way and it should ne necessary be required reading for everyone who might come into contact with a DMD sufferer.
I'd like to thank Ian for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag.
