Mostly just sharing to highlight / represent invisible disabilities.
I have Long COVID / Chronic Fatigue /
Post-Exertional Malaise
It'd be very easy to see my timeline and think im healthy & everything’s amazing all the time.
When I'm fine I seem "normal" but that's because l've done a load of work managing my energy budget, leaving early, adding multiple rest days into my calendar, & having very slow months during bad periods
Obviously I can't ignore the fact that l'm able to manage it so well because of my privilege.
I'm financially stable, have a relatively good safety blanket, and my online work and freelance schedule are flexible enough to work around it all.
If I had to work a 40 hour week to afford to live then I’d have no room to accommodate it never mind recover.
And thats how most people with this kind of thing have to deal with it, especially with the govt making disability assistance harder to get, & barely/not recognising disabilities like this!
@mattgrayyes I'm somewhere between the lower two - or at least I think so?? 
(I'm genuinely unsure and I can't be arsed to see if I actually have a disability in some way, shape or form, but I'm suspecting that there might be something™)
my partner is also affected. She is unable to walk more than ~50 meter, beyond that she needs an electric wheelchair. She is also unable to work at the moment.
@mattgrayyes idk about chronic fatigue (i am so god damn tired all the time) but my eyes are pretty fucked (to the point where I just can't function day to day without glasses, I think it's around 20:100 vision or worse)
eyesight is a fun one since it's visible(well, if you're wearing glasses) but also doesn't really feel like a disability, maybe since it's so common? but its definitely disabling without help.
@mattgrayyes rheumatoid arthritis, autism, and ADHD
(my autism doesn't often feel like a disability, but I have to remind myself how much therapy it took to get here)

invisible things. Having an inability to have fructose AND lactose in the United States is already bad enough, but having basically everything in the DSM as well as effectively having dyslexia AND exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, as well as light sensitivity is also bad. And this is only scratching the surface. I have quite a few other stomach issues. Also my intersex condition is only visible to intimate partners for whatever difference it makes@mattgrayyes I have a visible & invisible disabilities. I visualize long covid symptoms on @illmarks
For folks who aren’t sure if they are disabled or not—I recommend looking into the redesigned disability pride flag’s meanings, and see if any sections resonate with you.
Additionally, disability justice has no hierarchy of disability, the more of us there are, the better we can support and advocate for each other. 💜
@mattgrayyes age is becoming a disability:
* bad eyesight
* body does not heal as quick
* body can't do the same intensity or length of effort as before
* back pain :)
