Laughing About Disability

If you live with a disability or disorder, chances are you’ve spent plenty of time in hospitals, with doctors, and on a first-name basis with your pharmacist. I’ve written a few jokes about those experiences — all inspired by real life.

But before we laugh, let’s pause for a moment: Is it okay to joke about disability?
Absolutely — when it’s your own story. Humour helps us cope, connect, and stay sane. The key is to laugh with people, not at them.
