Ouch
Ouch is a website from the BBC that reflects the lives and experiences of disabled people. It has regular columns, features, quizzes, a monthly near-cult podcast, a blog or two and a community messageboard amongst other stuff. All contributors, well, 99% of them, are disabled – and Ouch’s editorial team is rather wonky and deserve big fat special diversity badges too.
