    I’m really glad you’ve found the information helpful, this kind of consideration and inclusion can only make a community stronger.

    Just one more point I think I should have included: not all disabilities are visible - from autism to PoTS to chronic pain to mental illness, some people might look perfectly abled but actually face many barriers and challenges, so remember to include them too (and again, not that you would, but in general - don’t doubt or question someone’s disability, like questioning why someone who doesn’t “look disabled” parks in a disabled bay or uses the disabled toilets or can’t stand in a queue but needs to sit even if they look young and fit. Not being visible doesn’t mean whatever it is isn’t having a massive impact).

    Anyway, I’ve rambled on enough, and you clearly get it, so I’ll end on a - solidarity, comrade!
