Most disabilities are not visible - there are far more physically and mentally disabled/injured/scarred people out there
Apparently because I have traits of aspergers/ASD that makes me 'disabled' but I don't let that stop me having what to me is a 'normal life'.
My neighbour has MS, and she recently got menengitis, collapsed at home (fortunately was not knocked out), went to hospital, and is now disabled because she can't use her legs. But her brain still works, and she's getting around her house in a wheelchair. She doesn't own the house - it's a housing department rental. She has had significant drug problems, and until about 6 months ago had a job as a truck driver, then she lost her license (due to drugs).
Many people have 'disabilities' we never see or can detect for the most part. Being abnormal is actually normal. Many people with 'disabilities' will never talk about them unless you question the person and they talk about it.
Being depressed/anxious all the time (which I've had and know how awful it is) can constitute a 'disability' because it impairs normal cognitive functioning.
