What's your vision of a disabled person? Is it someone using a wheelchair? Are they blind? Is it something tangible and easily recognisable? And what's your idea of someone who is ‘normal’? Most people look at these two classifications as two distinct states; normal or disabled. But for some people there is no black and white, they are in the grey area of life.
They have what is called invisible disabilities, which covers a diverse range of conditions: neurological, cognitive, neurodevelopmental, long term medical conditions like Lupus, musculoskeletal issues, epilepsy, or sensory and processing difficulties such as dyslexia and dyspraxia. We call these ‘invisible’ in recognition of the fact that many people don't easily ‘see’ these disabilities and how they impact someone.
