If you, a family member or someone you know has had a stroke or suffers from any other neurological disease, you should read this book.

It's called: I'm not stupid, just disabled.

This is not just another book about a CVA (cerebro vascular accident). But it is an easy to understand and easy to read account of not only one, but several stroke survivors' experiences. It is set in 14 Point, considering readers with double vision or poor eye sight, and written in a style that even people with no or little reading experience have no problem following it.

Not only the author's view is presented but experiences of several stroke survivors. One of them, Alma, gives an account of how she feels. Throughout the book Wolfgang Haufe included several opinions from medical professionals, children, nurses, caregivers etc. (If you want to know more about the author click here, if, on the other hand, you'd like to make any comments about the book or have any questions please e-mail him directly by clicking here). From near-death experiences over depression, to a how-to-behave-around-disabled people etiquette to the difficulties of daily living, many situations a stroke survivor or their care giver can encounter are talked about. Read the Introduction with the article Why not me? to get an idea what this book is all about.

Most books on stroke are either written for/by health professionals or are a personal account of stroke and are therefore looking at life in a one-sided way. Not so this one. The inclusion of several case studies and other people's ordeals make not only for compelling reading, but provide the platform for a better understanding of stroke by other stroke survivors, caregivers, and the general public. Whenever the opinion of a professional is included it is in easy to follow language as psychologist Gwendolin Smith in the chapter "You are not alone" shows. Another chapter many people can identify with is Talk to me, talk to me, now, in which you can see how outsiders react to disabled people. It is this easy to understand language and real life experiences that make this book the must read of the stroke community. This is also reflected in a book review which appeared in the official newsletter of the New Zealand Stroke Foundation, PENSTROKES.
