“The Fabulous Tale of Being Different” mural by artist Case Maclaim in Madrid, Spain. This is indeed, fabulous. Disability visibility. The more you see us, the more we’ll be normalized and your imagination broadened that, yes, disabled people have something to offer, and we live beyond the immediate ableist evaluation of tragic, sad and unworthy of jobs, unworthy of love and unworthy of societal acceptance and inclusion.
