But you bring up a great point. When you have a visible disability, you encounter descrimination, but most times more openly. If your disability is not right out there, you still get discrimination, but perhaps more severely because people don't know how to handle what they don't understand or can't see. It's tough having any kind of disability, and perhaps the silent nonvisible disabilities are even more of a challenge. JMHO, you are a very smart and qualified woman!!!
