i get this when i need to lay down with my legs up a wall on campus. however, i’ve come to find with age that people’s perception is never predictable and never really reflected me as a person. sure, there’s people who think i’m just being weird, doing it for attention (insane take), or just walk by like any NYC pedestrian minding their business. you don’t have to disclose your disability entirely, you can just say you have knee problems. they’re capable of filling in the blanks sufficiently.
