Disability Misconceptions Tag (EDS) [CC]

This is the Disability Misconceptions Tag! Let's talk about how EDS impacts my daily life, how not all of us are gonna look like the textbook images (ie contortionists and severe stretchy skin), how ambulatory wheelchair users and fluid disabilities exist, the harm misconceptions can bring and how we can combat these misconceptions.
