Not all disabilities and health challenges (physical, mental or neurological) are visible. Hundreds of recognised conditions are defined as a disability because they significantly impact daily life. However, as they are not apparent to the external observer, the sufferer often keeps the condition and the challenges it creates hidden. Many also struggle to accept their disability, which can lead to serious problems, both for themselves and the people around them.
As someone who lives with and, for a long time, struggled to accept his hidden disability, a rare type of Spina Bifida, Wayne is on a mission to raise individual and collective awareness and perceptions of disability, visible or not.
