Yeah. I have a few disabled friends too, and it breaks my heart to see them fighting and struggling to survive because they aren't obviously visibly disabled enough, so they're constantly under scrutiny and they are constantly questioned about whether or not they really can't work a normal job or not. It's an awful, dehumanising system that assumes the worst out of society's most vulnerable people. All of them want to work, to give back to others, to give back to society, but they can't because the sort of work they can do isn't productive and profitable enough.
