At the Guardian, she tagged her top ten interesting characters who just happen to have a disability, including:
Christopher, in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is among Julia Donaldson's six best books and Melvyn Burgess's top ten books written for teenagers.
