18 Netflix Shows Committed to Representing People With Disabilities

Based on the hilarious Ryan O'Connell's part-memoir, part-manifesto I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves, this comedy series follows O'Connell's own challenges and triumphs as a gay man navigating the world with mild cerebral palsy. From having to begrudgingly accept help from his friend when he can't tie his new shoes to having a trailblazing sexual encounter with the sex worker he hired to help him lose his virginity, this show is never afraid to explore the complications of falling somewhere between able-bodied and disabled.
