Disability is common, yet it often evokes discomfort in social interactions. This discomfort leads individuals to become uncertain about engaging with disabled people. Many avoid conversations, invitations, and opportunities, resulting in a pattern of avoidance that can exclude disabled colleagues from social and professional engagements. This form of discrimination, while not always overt, can significantly impact the mental and physical health of disabled individuals. The root cause often lies in the anxiety people feel when unsure how to interact with someone with a disability, leading to misconceptions and missed connections.
