Crystal Seitz, a fantasy author, found solace in books during her diagnosis journey and now writes characters with disabilities that she wishes to see. In her debut novel, 'Inheritance of Scars,' she created Astrid, a determined girl with Crohn’s disease, to show that disabilities do not define a person. Seitz emphasizes that disabilities should be represented in sci-fi and fantasy genres, challenging the misconception that they need to be 'fixed.' She also recommends SFF books with disability representation by disabled authors as crucial for providing new perspectives.
