    It’s bizarre to me how many people assume that disabilities must be visible. And not just visible, but that it has to be glaringly visible.

    You’d think that it’d be well known that visibilities might not be obvious, but nope.

      I have an invisible, part-time disability. I used to have a wheelchair and a handicapped hang tag, but I got rid of the tag because it wasn’t worth getting hassled everywhere I parked. Thankfully, the medication is helping and I haven’t needed the wheelchair in a very long time, but that doesn’t mean I won’t need it tomorrow.

      It’s like people want any excuse to be a righteous jackass.
