Disclosing a Disability Is Scary, but Not the Accommodation

People with disabilities share one familiar experience, being stared at a being assumed incompetent and so it turns out that the way people think about the broader group is pretty simplistic. After her fall in australia, jill griffin's colleagues assumed she had a drinking problem. She hid her disability from her supervisor too, because she was afraid to be fired again and lose her insurance. When a workplace isn't supportive, it further complicates the work life of the person with the disability. You get the stigma, but not the accommodation.
