Yeah... But do we really think disabled people are getting told they're just being dramatic? I'm sure that's happened, just seems like a weird generalization
Depends upon the disability. For obviously physically disabled people with well-known diseases, you're absolutely right. For those diseases most people have never heard of (my Type-I spouse has charkot, for example), or are less obvious such as severe depression? Yeah, they do get treated like they're being absurd because many other people don't understand their difficulties and thus don't take them seriously.
