for fucks sake

why isnt there like... a class on known disabilities in school

literally, i just learned about Visual Snow, something that i feel like i should've known is A Thing for ages and ages, not all disabilities are visible, why the fuck are we not increasing awareness of them???

knowledge of these things *allows* people to understand and/or anticipate them, it also decreases the whole "you're just making this up" since whatever you learn in school often is more trusted than whatever people learn "random people" to trust for

seriously, some people live with this shit, and nobody knows about it

literally 1 or 2 classes, just listing the various types, or the various categories, or the ways people *can* have disabilities, would be immensely helpful

arghhhh

i remember having *one class* about the effects of smoking and drinking back in middle school, on what it does to your brain, and that has shaped me ever since to never smoke and only ever take small amounts of alcohol, i remember all kinds of small bits i learned in high school, about random things, which shaped my view of the world

why the fuck is this not a thing that is included?????????
