The term \u201cinvisible disabilities\u201d refers to anyone that struggles with unseen symptoms. These can include anything from depression and bi-polar disorder to ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. As a neurodivergent individual with autism spectrum disorder who is also 2e or twice exceptional, I too have a non-visible disability that I live with every day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1649083974320{background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
