BOOKS

• Allen, J. D. (2003). Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people with
  developmental disabilities and mental retardation: Stories of the
  rainbow support group.
  Harrington Park Press.
  This book discusses ways to more effectively serve people with developmental disabilities who also identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. It talks about the “Rainbow Support Group” in New Haven, Connecticut. It is important to note that at the time of
  publishing, “mental retardation” was the term used that we now call “intellectual disability”. The preface may be found here
• Clare, E. (1999, 2009, 2015). Exile and Pride. Disability, Queerness, and Liberation.
  Duke University Press.
  Eli lives in Vermont and describes himself as “white, disabled, and genderqueer”
  He writes books and speaks around North America about disability, identity and social
  justice. He has produced a resource list of books, zines, websites,
  blogs, podcasts, listservs, and films.
• Hingsburger, D. (1992). I contact: Sexuality and people with developmental disabilities (3rd ed.). VIDA Publishing.
  “The basic message of this book is that all people can love and all people can make human contact with other people” . This is a good book for people working with people with disabilities, and for parents of people with disabilities. It seems hard to find, and costs hundreds of dollars on Amazon.
• McRuer, R. (2006). Crip theory: Cultural signs of queerness and
  disability.
  New York, NY: New York University Press.
  This book discusses “crip theory”, which the author describes in the introduction as “the ways in which crip culture is coming out all over”(p. 3). McRuer relates crip theory to disability and LGBT identity. He also relates it to “queer histories of coming out” (p. 3). McRuer also discusses this all in the context of the “norm” of able-bodiedness and
  heterosexuality.
• O’Toole, C. J. (2015). Fading scars: My queer disability history.
  Autonomous Press.
  This book documents stories in disability history. O’Toole includes her experiences of “queer disability organizing”. I have not read any, but it seems like a good book.
  
• Smith, B.G., & Hutchison, B. (eds.) (2004). Gendering disability.
  Piscataway, NJ: Rutgers University Press.
  This book is a compilation of works about the intersection of gender and disability. Chapters of interest are Sumi Colligan’s Why the Intersexed Shouldn’t Be Fixed: Insights from Queer Theory and Disability Studies, and Corbett Joan O’Toole’s The Sexist Inheritance of the Disability Movement.
