Fed up of explaining!

Does anybody else with an invisible disability get fed up of hearing their own voice over and over again explaining your disability?

    Hi @Roland.

    Welcome aboard the great ship (Scope About Disability)

    Yes I'm in the same "boat" as you.

    I think the term is "Banging your Head against a Brick Wall"

    Hi @roland:

    I can empathize. I don't get asked too often about my visible disability anymore, but I used to a lot when I was younger. Now I think people see me as older and aren't  really intrigued anymore :).

    How do you deal with it?

    Well don't explain then? I only explain to those who I absolutely have to.

    Yes both my daughter and I have an invisabie disability (EDS)
     Especially when we use the blue badge. We get a few judgemental looks
