According to InvisibleDisabilityProject.org, an "invisible" disability is any physical, mental, or emotional impairment that goes largely unnoticed by the general populous.⁠ ⁠ Those living with an invisible disability often require the same types of accommodations as people with visible disabilities but are unable to receive access due to being mistaken as able-bodied, and additionally may be shamed or stigmatized for requesting accommodations.⁠ ⁠ Chronic illness advocate @katie.bennett.hogg experienced this firsthand when she was scolded by an onlooker for using an accessible parking space.⁠ ⁠ As @theantoinettethomas⁠ says, "It’s a struggle to appear young, 'healthy,' or able-bodied, and have a disability. You can seem selfish, or inconsiderate because there isn’t something visually indicating your disability in order to 'deserve' certain accommodations.” ⁠ ⁠ ⁠Thank you for the reminder Katie and Antoinette that we can't assume what someone's abilities are just by looking at them.⁠ ⁠ 〰️⁠ ⁠ ⁠✍️ Tweet on Slide 1 by @katie.bennett.hogg⁠ 🎨 Art on Slide 2 by @theantoinettethomas⁠ ⁠ 〰️⁠ ⁠ #invisibledisability #invisibledisabilities #invisibleillness #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #hiddendisabilities #disabledandproud
