ng disabled in any contact in a non disability friendly society is hard. I would be classified as having a disability that is not visual. I have learning issues and was born with medical issues to the point of needing a liver transplant at the age of 2 and needing my spleen removed in 11th grade in 2013. This is not visible but due to these health issues I have always been behind my grade level. As for many if not all people who have any type of disability, people tend to give you “pity” or praise for doing the simplistic things. Although most times it is people trying to be nice it is dehumanizing and hurts/irritates me and many others. The documentary we watched is nice being able to have somewhere to go where you can be yourself since when you are disabled you are often not allowed to have the same things or experiences the same thing as a “normal” person. As for myself not having a visible disability I was not shield from these opportunities but at same time this is complicated because it was not as noticeable I was not offered the help I needed when I was young would never really get much help until I was in my late 20s when I had advocated for myself it even still I feel I am not completely diagnosed therefore do not get all the help I need but i have unfortunately accepted I will never be able to truly know what it like not to struggle so much intellectually, mentally or physically.
Even with my accepts of my situation I think it is important to unite together to change things for the better for the next generation, like how they did in the video the civil right activist and black panthers helped those in the disability rights movement because they both had a goal in common of wanting to be treated equal and treated like human bringing and not monsters who are less then.

I also have an invisible disability, which is severe asthma, and it really affects my everyday life, and some people may see it as not being that bad but for me it is I have severe allergies which cause for my nose constantly run and I sneeze so often that I learned not to make any noise when I sneeze. I try not to run and when I do workout I pace myself because I don’t want to trigger an asthma attack.The cold weather lately doesn’t make anything better. I could just be walking around and it’s slowly gets more difficult to breathe. And I’m more of a mouth breather because my nose is constantly stopped up so I tend to breathe harder others and when this happens and my family constantly reminds me you’re breathing too hard. You need to stop, but I’m like I literally can’t my nose is stopped up I can’t breathe out my nose. I’m tired of them saying this because I can’t do anything about it and they make it seem as if I do it on purpose. I also feel like a lot of people don’t necessarily think of asthma as a disability when in fact having asthma can affect your daily life.
I relate to this as I have a skin disorder that takes some of my ability, but I also struggle mentally, which places blocks on what I can do for a time period. When people make assumptions about me, especially doctors, what they see on the outside, not thinking of the inside, it just adds to the stigmatization we face. we must speak out about these issues so that no one must feel the way we do now.
