A Dublin primary school teacher says she and other people with hidden disabilities are “often forgotten” by the system.
Emily Larkin (22), from Lucan, who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as a teenager, set up Invisible Disability Awareness to create a better understanding of hidden illnesses and conditions.
The non-profit organisation raises awareness on conditions such as fibromyalgia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression and ADHD, and aims to break away from the stigma of what a disability “should look like”.
