and what about the person(s) who, because of the specifics of their
disabilities, are not likely to be readly identified as within the
"disabled" category? (at least, not on that particular day)
How many are falsely categorized as non-disabled ? i.e., not because they
seek to "pass" as non-disabled, but because they would have to provide a
verbal explanation or other cue to place their identity.
(this goes back to the "illness" issues discussed these past weeks.)
I write, without answers, and yet:
