Love and solidarity to people with less-spoken-of "invisible" disabilities.

Disabilities of breathing, eating, and drinking. Disabilities of language, speech, signing, reading, and writing. Disabilities of digestion and toileting. Disabilities of sleep. Disabilities of thermoregulation. Disabilities of sexual function. Disabilities of navigation, balance, and motor control. Disabilities of taste and smell.

"Invisible" disabilities with obvious causes, and "invisible" disabilities with unknown causes. "Invisible" disabilities with treatments, those with helpful adaptive technologies, those with experimental approaches, those with social or infrastructural accommodations, those with nothing that really helps. "Invisible" disabilities that go unspoken even in spaces meant for those of us who have "invisible" disabilities. "Invisible" disabilities that have yet to be named.

"Invisible" disabilities that wouldn't be so invisible if others would just look at us and how we live.

#my own post wow #invisible disability #actually disabled #much love to those with more well-known 'invisible' disabilities and those with 'visible' disabilities #may we all become highly legible to our families friends lovers carers doctors and broader communities #may we all become known #if i left out a category for your 'invisible' disability #first of all i am so sorry! second of all please tell me! i want you to be seen. i want to make space for you.#ime the more spoken-of 'invisible' disabilities are memory; MI/ND/IDD; diabetes; chronic pain #chronic fatigue; allergies / immune disorders #which is why these were broadly left off my list of invisible-invisible disabilities #ymmv of course with how well known or accepted those are in your community/ies
