Abstract
In this autoethngraphic paper, I chronicle three key experiences I have endured throughout my time in the U.S. educational system. Collectively, these moments have continuously shown me that disabled bodies like mine are not welcomed in academic spaces, overall. I choose these experiences, not because they are the only ones that have occurred, but because they most succintly represent my ongoing journey of understanding what it means to be a student and/or academic with a visible disability. I have kept these stories mostly to myself for a long time. However, I feel that now is the time to discuss what I have experienced as both a healing and challenging personal and academic endeavor. In addition, I hope students like myself can relate to these experiences and know they are not alone.
