Based on true events. The word “Spazz” is used here because by using the phrase “you don’t look disabled” you are inherently presenting an ableist attitude! It’s just as offensive not just to the person with the hidden disability but also those who do NOT have hidden disabilities.
[ID: A comic made up of 4 post-it-notes, the first 3 are yellow and the last is purple
Panel 1 - a man with dark skin and a beard wearing a jumper over a button up shirt. He has a large grin. A speech bubble reads “You’re disabled? Well you don’t look it!”
Panel 2 - the blogger has blue hair and an unimpressed expression. She is wearing a jacket over a T-shirt, the jacket has lapels and badges on it. One badge is larger than the others, bright blue with a white TFL logo. An arrow points to it with the caption “literally wearing a disabled person’s badge”
Panel 3 - The blogger has a foul, put out expression as she rummages in a bag. She is muttering “Hat, Glasses, Jumper.” The words “rumage” And “rustle” float around her.
Panel 4 - The blogger has changed clothes. She is now wearing a large pair of square glasses, a beanie that has “SPAZZ” on the rim and a thick jumper with “I AM DISABLED” written on it along side a TFL Logo. She has an angry expression. A speech bubble reads “Is this what you had in mind?” ]
