I wasn't offended because someone said people with MS can work.
I was offended because they implied that because they know three people with MS who work full-time, people like me somehow need greater scrutiny.
I worked in a senior role after my diagnosis.
I paid my taxes.
I contributed to society.
My employer even offered me redundancy and told me they wouldn't have been offering it if I didn't have MS.
That's the reality many disabled people face.
MS is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Some people work full-time.
Some work part-time. Some can't work at all.
All of those experiences are valid.
The problem isn't that people with MS work.
The problem is assuming that because one person can, everyone should.
Disabled people shouldn't have to constantly prove that their disability is real enough.
Look up, not down. 🧡♿
