Invisible disabilities, also known as Hidden Disabilities or Non-visible Disabilities (NVD), are disabilities that are not immediately apparent, or seeable. They are often [[chronic illnesses]] and conditions that significantly impair normal activities of daily living. Invisible disabilities can hinder a person's efforts to go to school, work, socialize, and more. Some examples of invisible disabilities include [[intellectual disabilities]], [[autism spectrum disorder]], [[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]], [[fibromyalgia]], [[mental disorder]]s, [[asthma]], [[epilepsy]], [[allergies]], [[migraine]]s, [[arthritis]], and [[chronic fatigue syndrome]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.umass.edu/studentlife/sites/default/files/documents/pdf/Invisible%20Disabilities%20List%20%26%20Information.pdf |title=Invisible Disabilities: List & Information |work=Disabled World |date=October 28, 2015 |access-date=February 15, 2021 |archive-date=February 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225031631/http://www.umass.edu/studentlife/sites/default/files/documents/pdf/Invisible%20Disabilities%20List%20%26%20Information.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
