Hidden Disabilities — Quick Facts

What it means

A hidden (invisible) disability isn’t obvious to others. Needs are real even when symptoms aren’t visible.

Common examples

ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, chronic pain/fatigue, epilepsy, mental health, hearing/vision differences.

Why it matters

Validation, reasonable adjustments, and self-advocacy reduce barriers at school, work, and in the community.
