This book reflects on the lived experience of disability during the COVID-19 lockdown in Tokyo and Melbourne. Drawing on the autoethnographic analysis of two personal accounts, it discusses the short and long-term impact of the pandemic on the social isolation and medical vulnerability faced by individuals with disabilities, as well as issues related to the labor market, education, and healthcare systems within a global crisis setting. A timely reflection on accessibility and inclusivity in society, this short monograph explores the benefits and setbacks of the pandemic, from video conferencing and teleworking to the crisis of the care industry and subsequent disruptions to services to vulnerable people.
