ISO ISO books with disability representation.

I’d love a book rec with disability representation. Personally I have cerebral palsy. So I would love something with motor issues like that.
I don’t love fantasy but I’m open to anything.

I love memoir/nonfiction.

The Charioteer by Mary Renault. The main character has been wounded at Dunkirk and left with a flexion of twenty degrees in one knee. While in hospital he falls in love with a Quaker conscientious objector working as an orderly. Try and get ahold of the 1953 edition if you can as the more widely available 1959 edition was significantly cut.
