Fresh off the Press!
Barrier-Free's blogger, Emily Wachter, shares a raw & honest first-hand perspective on life with a disability.

"Having a disability means when I mask my autism I pay for it later.
Having a disability means the employer can decide to pay me less or to not interview me at all based on my application.
Having a disability is worry about if I’ll secure housing when I’m older."
