Résumé
Workers with invisible disabilities face the complex decision of whether to disclose or conceal their disability at work. In my current research, I propose a preliminary analysis of how the choice to (not) disclose an invisible disability at work was challenged in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in France. By invisible disability, I mean a concealable disability that enables disabled workers to appear as non-disabled in the eyes of their colleagues. The decision of (non-)disclosure of such a disability involves weighing the potential benefits of disability recognition against the risk of stigma. Choosing not to disclose a disability can be a strategy to avoid negative judgments, though it often means working without appropriate accommodations.
