I am disabled.

I am disabled not because my body and brain are different, but because our society renders my state of being disabling.

"But you look healthy!"

But you can't see my disability.

You'll never see my chronic pain. You won't see my bruises. You won't notice when I've recently dislocated something for having the gall to move. My ADHD and anxiety won't show up on my sleeve.

When I'm most impacted, you won't see me at all.

But I am disabled.
