What does it mean by being recognized as disease and disability? Unless a person is recognized so, he/she has difficulty in living in the society. On the other hand, if he/she is recognized so, he/she is discharged since "it is not his/her fault and his/her disease is to be blamed." Then, does this mean that he/she cannot find any place to stay in the society unless he/she is recognized so?

Its front line is "continuum" including developmental disability. ADHD, Asperger syndrome, and high-functioning autism. How did this vague continuum appear in the society which swings between disease and the way of living? And how has it been positioned in the framework of possession and distribution in the society?

With the name and coping techniques people with disease/disability are discharged since it is not their fault. However, the other thing needs to be solved. "We have bigger 'responsibility' than what is requested as "public position" in modern society. Actually, if "self-responsibility" is used strictly, we have to have burdens of what is not self-responsible."(From This Book)

Is the society that we do not prove ourselves unrealistic? In this book the author introduces ways of living invented by people with diseases/disabilities and seek ways of living with readers by reexamining every possibilities in the society.
