        It's a start. Assumes that all handicaps are visible. Most are not. Arthritis, stenosis, asthma, etc., are not visible.

        Autism is not visible either. Not all hidden disabilities are medical based.

        Yep. Most do not entail mechanical devices.

        Is it not better to treat the disabled as a normal, regular part of society instead of differentiating them?

        Great - but why has it taken so long? Apple are really slow with these obvious emoji - they had gay families represented long before single parent families - no offence to LBGT, but there’s far more single parent families and ppl with disability than gay families! x

        Probably representative of you and your 18 followers 😂 - You obviously don't take mental health issues seriously - Take a look in the mirror 🤔

        People are literally getting so triggered that it really is a sign that as a collective we’re getting stupider.
