Abstract:As a library employee with a hidden disability (post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]), just going through the accommodation process is difficult. The process is invasive and includes an in-depth interview with a disability specialist who knows nothing about you. The process also requires a letter from a care provider detailing both the accommodation and why it is necessary. In order to get an accommodation, the person must first be diagnosed by a medical professional or a psychiatrist, which is often expensive and time-consuming to obtain. The process is made more difficult and painful when supervisors and administrators do not recognize the validity of the condition for which the accommodation is needed. This paper explores the accommodation process, its impact on the employee, and the politics and psychology of disbelief and suspicion surrounding disability accommodation. Through the lens of personal experience and reflection, I will explore how the library, while a place of learning and advocacy for knowledge, can also be a place of ableist views that limit the abilities and potential of employees with disabilities. I will also provide guidelines for combating ableism in the library workplace.

怀疑的影响：对成为残疾人的图书馆员工的影响

摘要：作为一名患有隐性残疾（创伤后应激障碍[PTSD]）的图书馆员工，很难经历适应过程。该过程是侵入性的，其中包括对您一无所知的残障专家的深入采访。该过程还需要护理人员的来信，详细说明住宿条件和必要性。为了获得住宿，必须首先由医学专业人员或精神科医生对患者进行诊断，这通常是昂贵且费时的。当主管和行政人员没有意识到需要适应的条件的有效性时，该过程将变得更加困难和痛苦。本文探讨了住宿过程，其对员工的影响，以及对残疾适应的怀疑和怀疑的政治和心理学。通过个人经验和反思的视角，我将探索图书馆如何在学习和倡导知识的同时，也成为能够限制残疾人员工的能力和潜力的能力派观点的地方。我还将提供在图书馆工作场所打击能力歧视的指南。
