I have compressive neuropathy and a heart condition (among other things) and barometer changes frequently trigger nerve pain which makes walking hard. I can't use a cane generally as the injury is in my neck and using my arms is even more painful

No, I've actually not encountered too much of this stupidity directly. A lot of passive aggressive comments implying I'm overplaying things, because the doctors can't find anything wrong with me except fibromyalgia.

I know I'd be tempted to say "Funny, you don't look stupid."

I bought a t-shirt from Cafe Press that says, "I have an invisible disability." I don't drive, but I have a special bus pass for persons with disabilities and I sometimes sit in the seats that are reserved for disabled persons on the bus.

Other than that, I like laele75's comment. "I don't look disabled? Well you don't look stupid/ignorant/like an asshole."

"You don't look like a dumbass, either. I guess we've bothed learned not to judge people based on appearances today."

U rawk

i hate it, but i always feel ashamed using my disabled parking rights when people are around to see me get out the car. i want one of those stickers that says 'look at the permit not at the person

My dad used to get this and his snappy come back was:-

Well you don't look stupid but looks can be deceiving :-D
