Abstract: I share the results of a 2022 survey done on Archive of Our Own users, specifically highlighting their disability identity. I discuss which disabilities are prevalent in fandom communities. Fan scholars can begin to form a foundational idea of fans' disability identities and their needs, wants, or desires about disability in fandom and its related media.
