Today is Rare Disease Day! There are estimated to be 7,000 rare diseases affecting between 25 and 30 million Americans. That's 1 in 10! And yet, for many with a rare disease, diagnosis can take years, treatment is palliative, and a cure is unlikely. If you know someone with a rare disease, here are a few tips on how to be an ally: - Don't ask if they have tried XYZ. By the time they are diagnosed, many with rare diseases are experts on their own condition and may even know more than their doctors. - Don't tell them to stay positive. This is invalidating of their lived experience, and the grief they may feel around the loss of their health and the impact that has on their lives. - Do offer specific help. If you want to help, don't put the burden on them to figure out what you can do. Offer something you are capable of doing and let them accept or offer an alternative. - Do listen. Having a rare disease can be isolating which makes having someone to talk to that much more important. #rarediseaseday #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #womenintech
