I noticed- and am extremely annoyed by- the fact that even in the civil rights section my us history class did not once mention any part of disability history.

As such I would like to know of any good history books on it specifically.

"Neurotribes" by Steve Silberman and "In a Different Key" by John Donvan and Carol Zucker for autism. They go over similar information with a different point of view and emphasis.

I think that those are all good suggestions.
