Robin Riley (fka Josh)Hello, I have invisible disabilities: their names are ADHD, anxiety, and hEDS.
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth, and I ask you to use this opportunity to learn about disabilities, the history and challenges faced, and how to be an ally.
25% of people in the US have a disability, across all ages, genders, ethnicities, and classes, and *everyone* who has the privilege of growing old will become disabled, including you.

Observing Disability Pride Month this July
I only recently learned that July is Disability Pride Month. Although not yet officially recognized in the United States, since 2004 Disability Pride Month has been celebrated with parades in cities including New York, Chicago, Madison, and Los Angeles.
