What do you do when you re labelled abnormal in a world obsessed with normality? In a world where wrinkles are practically illegal, going bald is cause for mental breakdown, and women over size ten are encouraged to shoot themselves, what the **** do you do if you re, gasp... disabled? Francesca was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when she was two years old and her parents were gravely told that she would never lead a normal life. After a happy childhood filled with tree climbing, mischief and little regard for her bit of palsy, Francesca arrived at high school with a confidence verging on indestructible, only to be turned into a miserable and insecure wreck. Luckily for her, salvation came from Grange Hill, a stand-up comedy workshop, and a passionate love affair replete with scintillating conversation. After one particularly mind-blowing chat, Francesca realised she had the power to stop judging herself by society s unhealthy standards and create her own. So she did. This powerful new perspective changed her entire life forever. Whatever body you re born into, the pressure to be NORMAL is everywhere. But have you ever met a normal person? What do they look like?
