Assuming you have no disability, have you ever parked in a Disabled Parking spot

[Ms. Toad]

75. Please work on erasing that presumption from your mind

People with invisible disabilities face significant discrimination - often more than people with visible disabilities because people assume they are entirely able bodied and shame them (on the one hand) and refuse to accommodate their needs (on the other) - because the presumption is they are faking it.

If someone has a handicapped hang tag or license plate, assume they are entitled to it. You do far more damage to people whose lives are already challenging when you sneer - or worse - at individuals who have mustered up the courage to use the accommodations they need. I rarely go anywhere where there are no open handicap spots - so from my perspective as the parent of a child with an invisible disability, there is more of an issue of underuse by people who need the spots because of attitudes like yours, than misuse by people who are not entitled to them.
