That sucks. Worth noting it doesn't help everybody.
This reminds me of a similar point: some people find comfort in others knowing about their struggles - for instance, telling people they meet about it right away so as to be fully understood. Others prefer privacy. The former inevitably get more attention because they are seeking it (in this case, in good faith). But awareness of the latter, that many with disabilities would prefer not to discuss it with most people, can be completely lost.
