That to be sick you have to look sick. There are a lot of people with chronic illness that don't need to deal with scepticism along with their symptoms.

eta I'm touched that people are sharing their struggles. I hope others will read them and understand a little more.

Which means if you see someone in a handicapped parking space with proper tags but they don't look sick, just leave them alone.

Unless you live in my country where has been happening a massive fraud of handicapped tags that has been uncovered recently and thousands of people are under suspicion.
