You see the smile. Not always what it takes to get there. ❤️

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, Leila shares moments of life with lupus and Sjögren's disease, from hospital visits to family memories.

Both are real. Having a good day doesn't mean chronic illness has disappeared.

Invisible Disabilities Week is an opportunity to raise awareness, challenge assumptions, and help people understand that you cannot determine someone’s health, abilities, or struggles by looking at them.

If you’ve ever been told you look fine… you belong here. 🤍

Living with #IBD is mostly invisible. Looking healthy on the outside doesn't mean feeling fine inside. This #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, help us break the stigma! 💜 ibdsuperheroes.wordpress.com/2023/11/10/u...

Invisible doesn't mean imaginary. ❤️

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, AiArthritis team member Eileen Davidson shares glimpses of life with rheumatoid arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis.

You shouldn't have to look sick to be believed.

Invisible Disabilities Week: Believe People. Listen. Make Room for Access.

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, check out this article exploring #NonApparentDisabilities experiences and how to build inclusive environments: 
Non-Apparent Disabilities: When Your Disability is Not Visible - World Institute on Disability
By Drew Dakessian The word ‘disability’ might call to mind an image of someone who uses a wheelchair, crutch or other mobility devices. Why? Because these mobility devices are visual indicators that a person is disabled. But many disabilities are…

You can’t always see someone struggling. People may appear 'fine' while managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, other conditions. Let’s create workplaces + communities where people feel safe seeking support + #mentalillness met w/same compassion as physical. #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek

Not all disabilities are visible.

This #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, #LACountyAD is advocating for true inclusion for everyone living with disabilities— whether non-apparent or outwardly visible.

Raising awareness breaks down barriers and builds a stronger, more accessible #LACounty.

It’s #invisibledisabilitiesweek and I am a nonprofit executive director with chronic illness. This post is in honor of @irms.bsky.social interns who were dealing with health struggles, & said knowing that I have Crohn’s Disease and accomplished so much opened up the options they saw for themselves.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, we’re joining @lacountyad.bsky.social to raise awareness and champion inclusion by listening and making space for all people with disabilities in #LACounty.

It's taken me until today to realise that this week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek. Better late than never to issue a reminder that not all disabilities are visible and not all struggles can be seen. Some people live with chronic illnesses or conditions that others may never notice. Worth remembering
A 'poster' with a green background and multi-coloured "silhouette-style" illustrations of people, with text that reads : Invisible Disabilities Week. Not all disabilities are visible October 18 - 24, 2026. Text saying "Some Disabilities Look Like This" with illustrations of a woman with various "visable" disabilities (e.g. using crutches, wheelchair), plus the text "Some Look Like This" with the same figure without any visable "signs" of disability.

Just like a shadow, #Fibromyalgia is always there even if others can't see it.

For Day 4 of #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek / #SemaineDesHandicapsInvisibles, #FAC is busting the myth that pain has to be visible to be validated.

Believe people the first time.
A bilingual social media graphic for Invisible Disabilities Week by Fibromyalgia Association Canada. The top features a solid purple banner with white text reading "Fibromyalgia Association Canada" and "L'Association de la Fibromyalgie du Canada". The main image shows a serene, misty lake surrounded by evergreen trees under an overcast sky, with autumn leaves framing the top-left and bottom-right corners. In the center, a person in a hoodie sits on a wooden bench facing the water, but their body appears semi-transparent, blending into the background scenery to symbolize the concept of invisibility. Large, black-outlined white text reads "Invisible Disabilities Week" on the right and "Semaine des handicaps invisibles" on the left. The bottom of the graphic features a purple bar with "fibrocanada.ca" on the left and "©FAC/AFC 2026" on the right.

Wake-up call for Invisible Disabilities Week 🌻 I have cerebral palsy (it affects everyone differently) and work every day. You see me showing up, not the supports behind it. Just because you can’t see the struggle doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Believe people. #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek #NDEAM
