Some of us have become *experts* at hiding the struggle. This is why many people do not realize the immense struggle (physical and emotional) we go through to even get our own names out. I’m even going to suggest it’s possible that the passerby who doesn’t know OP, maybe thought (incorrectly!!) OP was themself mocking disabilities. We know OP would not do that! And we know how painful it is to think you are being mocked! I still struggle with it.
