People who have a disability or suffer from a mental illness or a physical condition are frustrated. There is social bias that in order for you to be sick you have to look the part or for you to be disabled you have to be in a wheelchair. Meanwhile most illnesses can’t be seen with the naked eye, but the symptoms are real and excruciating for the sufferers. And disabilities can be nuanced and unnoticeable too. So lack of education, awareness, and understanding creates and cultivates a society and immediate milieu with selective compassion and intolerance. On top of that, others who have no idea what it is like living with a disability or a chronic condition like to speak for us and our experiences. It’s not the place of able-bodied and healthy people to steal our voices. We just want to be able to express what we go through in a safe outlet and to close the gap of being misunderstood, underestimated, and devalued. Hopefully with more people speaking up and sharing their stories we can achieve better understanding in our society and in our homes.
