Other issues may go ignored in those with disability bc people assume the disability is the only problem.
Now imagine if someone with a disability has sexuality issues going on. The odds based off the stats say that often goes ignored bc it is secondary to the disabling condition they have.
Or if someone has diabetes, is the doctor thinking about getting them they’re insulin or are they going to remember that they need a Pap smear? That sort of thing.
