Olivia Shivas and Rebecca Dubber take a trip down memory lane to discuss the realities of growing up disabled. Read: | Subscribe:

They meet a mum whose son has autism but isn’t "like Rain Man". And they chat to a Paralympian dad in a wheelchair about the endless intrusive questions he faces when out with his young daughter.

WHAT IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

Can you have children? What happened to your legs? And can I pray for you?

What’s Wrong With You? is a podcast about disability that tackles the tricky questions disabled people are asked – often by random strangers on the street.

The seven-part series is hosted and produced by a team of young disabled women who want to tell their stories from their perspective. The world is not designed for disabled people, so Olivia Shivas, Rebecca Dubber and Grace Stratton are paving their own way.

Life with a disability is more than just mobility carparks and ramps, so we’ve collected a range of stories about disability from 16 people that cover the heartbreaking lows and triumphant highs of the disabled experience.

Plus, we want answers to our own outrageous questions, such as: Can you get 50 per cent off a pedicure when your right leg is amputated?
