Spoonie question of the day: Have you ever been mistreated, or made to feel uncomfortable because your disease or disability was invisible or not obvious?
How did you handle it? Did you choose to keep quiet and ignore it? Did you speak to that person or ask to speak to a manager?
If you wrote a letter or said something- please share here in the comments section some of your wording. Many people can’t find the right words, but maybe if we all share some ideas- then if it happens again we will be prepared with the “scripting” and confidence of a #spoonie army on how to handle it.
This question was inspired by someone in our #spoonie family on twitter. Even though this situation just happened to her at a MAJOR theme park, I knew this is something we can all relate to, help and learn from.
