Don't look disabled?

I've been stewing over this all weekend! Took nephew and dd3 to a local museum and they had a pop up sensory space for people with disabilities. We wondered in to have a look - i have Aspergers, dd2 has dyslexia and dd1 is waiting a referal to CAHMs for either ADHD or autism (no 2 professionals we see agree!) - so i thought there might be some resources. There was also a sign by the door saying under 5s welcome so i was perfectly entitled to be there as both dd3 and dn are under 5. Lady bustled up to us with loads of flyers and info and said "oh i can see your family doesn't have any disabilities" and wondered off. Uhm since when can you see autism? I mean im use to judgemental comments but surely from someone running a disability awareness day? But as i didn't have dd1 or dd2 with me AIBU? I really want to write and complain but DH thinks im over sensitive.

Ive got an invisible disability ( well, until you see me walk) and have often been challenged when parking using my BB. It's utterly humiliating and no, I am not going to explain to some rude stranger what my medical condition is.

Having said that in this particular situation the woman was probably right to acertain that the users of the room were there correctly, she simply worded it badly.
