Invisible in the Room: Talk To Us, Not Around Us

In this episode of Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor, we talk about something many disabled people experience but not enough people understand: being ignored, talked around, or treated like we are invisible.We discuss what it feels like when people greet everyone else in the room but skip over the disabled person, or when they ask the caregiver, parent, sibling, or family member questions instead of speaking directly to us.This episode is about disability awareness, respect, ableism, and why people need to stop assuming disabled people cannot speak, understand, or answer for themselves. We share our thoughts, personal experiences, and the message we want people to understand: disabled people are not background characters in their own lives.If we are in the room, include us. Talk to us, not around us.
