Not all disabilities are visible.

Invisible disabilities are conditions that aren’t immediately apparent but can significantly affect daily life. They can include mental health conditions, neurodivergence, chronic illnesses, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, neurological conditions, sensory impairments, and learning disabilities.

You shouldn’t have to see someone’s struggle to believe it’s real.

Respect their needs. Be kind. 💜
