Invisible Disabilities Week: A Reflection
Columnist Mary Shaniqua notes the irony of Invisible Disabilities Week going unnoticed.
Many people live with invisible disabilities every day, and their experiences often go misunderstood. As Mary Shaniqua writes, "People only see us in fragments, which is why misunderstanding persists."
The fact that Invisible Disabilities Week can pass with little awareness highlights the hidden nature of disabilities in society. A recent social media post exemplifies this issue, where someone using a blue badge was accused of being deceitful because they "didn't look disabled."
The post quickly devolved into a pile-on of hateful comments and baseless assumptions.
This incident underscores the need for greater awareness and understanding of invisible disabilities.
Author's summary: Invisible disabilities often go unnoticed and misunderstood.
