Hello! I'm Kevin. I'm a service-connected disabled #veteran , w/ #ChronicPain , #depression , & other illnesses. In addition to being a birder, I'm also a conservation ecologist working to protect birds. #BirdabilityBirders #BirdabilityWeek2021 #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek
This week is Invisible Disabilities Week
An estimated 80% of disabilities are hidden (1bil ppl globally!)
You cannot know that people are disabled from their presentation (&an accessibility aid alone says little about someoneโs disability or needs)/1

#InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek !!
Hi! I'm Party and I have IC (chronic bladder and back pain) and I'm currently trying to get diagnosed for my mental disorder!
I can't work or sleep for extended periods of time, but I can draw! I hope you like my art!
Our pain may be invisible, but weโre not. #InvisibleDisability can make even our simplest task a struggle, but weโre not.
Somedays weโll feel guilty. Somedays itโll be impossible to get out of bed. Somedays weโll be scared to make plans or go to work.

My disability isnโt invisible. You just donโt see it because it isnโt happening to you. #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek
It's critical to increase awareness of #invisibledisabilities , which account for up to 80% of all #disabilities , yet lack representation, understanding and support in wider society. #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek aims to break the stigma of what disability 'should look like'.
It is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek so let's talk BPD! BPD is Borderline Personality Disorder (not Bipolar). BPD for me is intense black&white thinking ('I must be great streamer all the time or I am a failure'), severe mood swings, and unstable relationships. I am a #BPDWarrior โค
Itโs invisible disabilities week, and I cried writing this piece.
Choose love.

My disability is far from invisible to me.

It's #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek , so I'm here to remind you that disability comes in all shapes and forms. I'm also here to reflect on how getting an #invisibleillness / becoming disabled is still a whirlwind of an experience despite being diagnosed >2 years ago.
Not every health condition is visible. โ
โ Not every disability is visible. โ
โ Not all pain is visible. โ
โ Not all symptoms we suffer are visible. โ

This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek [THREAD[
Itโs #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek ! Now more than ever we need people to be aware that not all disabilities are visible. When Iโm not using my stick, youโd never know I have #AnkylosingSpondylitis , #EDS and #endometriosis . More awareness and more empathy ๐ค #DisabledIsNotADirtyWord
Itโs #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek so Iโm raising awareness for #MultipleSclerosis . Some people with MS need a cane or wheelchair but most of them donโt. The only way to see is with radiation using an MRI so here is an analogy using lemon juice and a UV flashlight.
What does disability look like? Raising awareness about the prevalence of hidden disabilities is critical to reducing stigma in the workplace and in everyday life #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek #DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth
