Invisible Disabilities Week: A Reflection
Columnist Mary Shaniqua notes the irony of Invisible Disabilities Week going unnoticed, highlighting the persistent misunderstanding of invisible disabilities in society.
She discovered that last week was Invisible Disabilities Week by accident, which underscores the lack of awareness about disabilities. The fact that such a significant event can pass with little notice speaks volumes about the hidden nature of these experiences.
A social media post sparked anger and sadness, where someone using a blue badge was accused of being deceitful because they "didn't look disabled." The post was followed by hateful comments and baseless assumptions.
People only see us in fragments, which is why misunderstanding persists.
This incident illustrates the need for greater awareness and understanding of invisible disabilities, which are often overlooked and misunderstood.
