    "Akin to the ideal victim, the ideal claimant of hidden disability must navigate a system built by (and from the perspective of) those with specific preconceived notions of what it means to be a person with a disability and to present as one."

  2. This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek. I suffer from migraines, scintillating scotoma, asthma, several digestive disorders, Long COVID, chronic inflammation in my foot, tendonopathy, anxiety disorder, and a congenital hip defect. I'm also dealing with deteriorating bone mass. It especially affects my teeth, which fall apart with disturbing frequency.

    At my absolute fittest, I was also at my most disabled. I looked like a fitness model yet could barely walk. No one wants to give their seat up on the bus for someone who looks young and healthy. Just because someone looks fit and healthy doesn't mean they aren't disabled. #InvisibleDisability #ChronicPain
