  Invisible disabilities
 
  Dear Sir or Madam,

sometimes things are not what they seem. This often makes it difficult to react appropriately to situations, because people rely on their own perceptions without questioning them. People with invisible illnesses or disabilities know all too well how difficult this can be. After all, if you look healthy, you must act that way, right? Elena Zubiaurre knows this expectation all too well. She has MS and talks about her experiences in the current How we roll interview.

Have a pleasant rest of the week!

Living with an invisible disability – Elena Zubiaurre knows how it feels. She lives with multiple sclerosis (MS). But strangers don't see it. That's why she would like society to be more careful and attentive. She tells REHACARE.com which everyday aids and auxiliary means should also be invented and why home office and mandatory masks are a blessing for her.
