'Bones' and Invisible Disability

Crossposted at Adventures of a Young Feminist where there are more comments.

...The lack of awareness Brennan’s co-workers show about her Asperger’s leads me to believe it could be considered an invisible disability. At first glance, Brennan appears “normal” and the only way her co-workers would know about her Asperger’s is if she tells them and then proceeds to advocate for her unique needs. In fact, she has made steps towards self-advocation already, at one point last season asking her psychologist, Dr. Lance Sweets, to help her understand social cues and to read facial expressions.
