Hi, I am Ken and I may post polio Survivor. I am one of those post polio survivors, whose disability is not apparent to the visible eye.
You might see me walking through the airport with a cane, and you'll say, well, there's nothing wrong with that guy, but you don't know that I can't walk that far. You don't know that I can't sit up that long. That that is a problem for me, you see? So you can't judge a book by the COVID is what I am saying here as I wind up my first swell introduction. Be kind to people who are handicapped

And you can wear those or like they're supposed to be for people to wear who have invisible disabilities, which I think is such a great initiative if you want to wear them, to kind of breach that gap of not everything that you see is exactly as it is. So, yeah, I thought that that was pretty interesting. I'm wondering if there's something like that

So if I'm in the service industry, I automatically am going to revert to a mode of how can I assist this person and make sure that this person's transaction with my company or with me is pleasant and without embarrassment. Now, if you're wearing a band that says, okay, I have a hidden disability, that may be okay, would I do it? Yeah, I probably would, because I've been challenged so many times, even before I started using a cane and forearm crutches

And I would have to explain to them nicely, look, I had polio when I was six months old and give them a brief synopsis. That's embarrassing. I've never been asked, of course, to go in a room and prove by removing my clothing that I am handicapped. Usually they will go, oh, well, you look too young to have had rocio. Okay, whatever. I know when I was born, I know what happened to me
