What does this symbol actually mean? - Adrian Treharne jessie: One of my coworkers was confronted at her daughter's school for parking in the handicap spot. (Her daughter uses a wheelchair) She came a little bit early and was putting her makeup on in the van when some random guy started berating her. Sure enough her daughter comes out a few minutes later and the guy didn't even apologize.

The symbol is very obviously just a person in a wheelchair, so everyone assumes it's for people in wheelchairs. It would be nice if they chose a more all-purpose symbol to begin with, but everyone's used to this symbol by now. We just need to add a tiny thing to it to denote that it's a symbol for other things too.

make a symbol which symbolise all the disabilities (visible or not) as group. same as access one works. now combine the new symbol into the first one but smaller in size like the person in wheelchair is holding it (or in space inside the circle of what we think is a wheelchair, u choose xD ) and here u are: D

Invisible illness is hard for people to wrap their minds around. The hostility from others can really pile-up for those experiencing invisible illnesses. And pressure to constantly defend oneself can be a violation of privacy. There needs to be image reform to represent this population.

I Think the Symbol can stay for place that are Designed for wheelchairs. But to clarify there needs to be a new symbol.
I always thought those toilets are designed for wheelchairs only and still Think how those Toilets help people with other disabilities.

The large bathroom is assumed to be for people who have wheel chairs but its actually for people like me who have anxiety disorders to curl up in a corner comfortably and cry

Interesting, I just noticed Apple's accessibility icon in the MacOS system preferences area looks like a figure standing in a circle. That might work as an alternative.

0: 12 The cover over the spare tire mounted on the back of my SUV has a peace symbol on it. I'm not making a political statement; I'm trying to encourage an attitude.
