""You don't want to learn to fly," [David Perry, writer and activist for disability rights] says dryly. "You want a ramp built into your castle."
Still, Perry admires how the series explores such a wide range of characters with different sorts of bodies and minds. Cokley admires that too; she's especially effusive about the books' author, George R. R. Martin.
"He obviously hangs out with a rabble-rousing group of disabled people," she says. "I know it. I sense it."
This fantasy universe is far more realistic than lots of other television shows, Cokley says, when it comes to representing people with disabilities on screen."
