People with invisible disabilities, i.e., disabilities that don't require assistive devices, suffer even more at the hands of larger society because the public assumes there's nothing wrong with them because they don't use a cane, a wheelchair, a scooter, or crutches. We're constantly told we're faking our conditions and making all this up not only to get attention, but also to get out of working and live off the government because we're lazy and perpetrating a fraud on the government. 
These conspiracy theories come especially from the far right, but they're infecting the general public with this pack of lies!
Tell that to someone suffering from major depression, where it's a monumental feat just to do everyday chores. Tell that to a person with chronic back pain or arthritis, whose every step is taken in agony. Tell that to a diabetic who has to monitor his or her blood sugar, eat a certain way and at set times, or exercise regularly or face horrible complications. Tell that to someone with severe ADHD, who can't concentrate on stuff that bores them and zones out without even realizing it.
To all the naysayers trying to keep disabled people invisible and cut off from society: Just keep telling us we're making all this shit up to scam the system. Who died and make you the leading authority on disability?
