Should people with invisible disabilties and with visable disabilties be treated equally?

I am a disabled US Military Veteran (Service Connected) AND with other disabilities I am rated at 100%. However, I work about 50+ hours a week at my job as IT Manager for a technology company. I didnt see a need to tell my employer this information. I can do the job without any special needs. Just because people cant see what's wrong with a person doesn't mean they aren't disabled.

When my employer found out my level of disability in casual conversation he was astounded.. but knowing the kind of person I am.. he understood. I felt no need to communicate that when I started working because I knew I could easily do the job - and have given 200% each and every day.

Also, I do "NOT" have a handicap sticker or placard in any of my vehicles.. even though I can easily get one. I can get out and walk my butt to the door. Is it painful? Yes.. but I have no trouble doing it. I figure there are people who are ALOT worse off than I am so why take a spot they could use?

But, all things being equal.. if you have two people with disabilities.. they definately should be treated equal. Not all disabilties are visible.. but they sure do make a difference in people's lives! Each has their own unique set of circumstances and needs - or not. In the past the ones that GOT me were the "Whiners" .. the people who have some small problem and blow it up like a helium balloon until its ready to bust. Complaining all day about this or that and boo hooing.. When i'm around those kind of people I dont say much until i've "Had it".. then I let em have it. If I'm their superior at that point I tell them to "Shut up, suck it up" and "Get the job done". If "I" can do it.. they can too. Anyone who knows me understands that I do not suffer FOOLS or WHINERS.

Well people should be treated "fairly" in any job. Different disabilities require different needs, so you can't just lump some everyone. There is no one size fits all. We should be accommodating to any persons needs. Some areas are more accommodating than others, and that is sad. I think it helps to know what you are dealing with so you know how to help a person. In another question you asked I mentioned I had just learned about narcissistic personality disorder and Asperger's syndrome. Those were missing pieces of the puzzle that would have helped me deal with my husband and his family, but also people I encountered in the work force. I went through my journey in life realizing some people had different behaviors than others. If I had known what was wrong, I would have known how to deal with or treat that issue with that person. It isn't fair to label people, but it helps to know what you are dealing with sometimes so you can be fair and accommodating. I hate labels because with each label is the realm of possibilities as to what each person is capable of, incapable of and can cope with. Every person is different, every person can handle certain things, but it helps to know what you are dealing with, so you can deal with it. Peace be with you.

All people should be treated equally.
