How can we expect the average, nondisabled, person to understand #Ambulatory #Wheelchair users?

And those are somewhat visible disabilities, in that public can recognize different needs, even if they don't prepare for them.

I would like to hope #Disabled people would be better at recognizing #Invisible #disabilities

Again, often if a person doesn't have disability, they don't know it exists.

They may even laugh at an invisible disability.

If everyone around them has the same condition, it may be normalized.

I once read about someone who grew up thinking all adults used a wheelchair when out and about. Because all the adults around them did so when they were a child.

Most of us know #Ambulatory #WheelChair users exist.

Yet, even doctors don't understand how that works. Not every ambulatory wheelchair user can climb onto an unsafe exam table.
