Abstract:

The difference between solidarity and separatism can be demonstrated in the online culture of disability support groups, which contain both benefits and dangers for participants of the group. Dona Avery illustrates the potential of parents of children with disabilities to self-exile from the larger society through the formation of symbiotic relationships and group thought online.
