It's frustrating, it's tiring and it's boring.

'They've put a flag in the ground, as in the drawing on the cover,' writes Harris. 'They've said, \"I'm doing life my way\" and \"this is what I need, in order to be who I am\".'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second half of the book provides a detailed timeline of significant Deaf and disability milestones in Aotearoa New Zealand, from the 1840s to the present day. This little-known history anchors the stories in the events and attitudes of their time, and enables readers to see how political decisions and social progress have a real impact on people's lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25 New Zealanders profiled include people who swim, cycle, act, protest, make films and music, write books, perform live comedy, ski, dance, make laws, teach, travel, invent things and more. \u003ci\u003eOut of the Box\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates both big achievements and everyday life.
