A non-visible disability is a disability or health condition that is not immediately obvious. It can defy stereotypes of what people might think disabled people look like. ... Some "non-visible" conditions are visible or obvious sometimes. Also, they can be "seen" by some people who might have a better understanding of the condition. But they are not usually visible to others. ... some people with non-visible disabilities might have a "dynamic disability." This means that sometimes they might use a mobility aid, but other times they might not need it. Likewise, sometimes they might need to use a priority seat on busy public transport. Other times they may not feel they need to. 5, record 1, English, - non%2Dapparent%20disability

Al hablar de discapacidad lo primero que se nos viene a la cabeza es una persona en sillas de ruedas o personas con algún rasgo característico. Pero ¿qué ocurre con esas personas que tienen una discapacidad invisible? Problemas visuales parciales, auditivos, hipertensión pulmonar, fibrosis quística y una larga lista de patologías son invisibles al ojo humano pero su repercusión en la calidad de vida de la persona es brutal. 1, record 1, Spanish, - discapacidad%20invisible
