Hello,
I wonder if anyone else has experience of using Sunflower lanyards to help service providers identify people who may need extra help and support? I ask as my local sainsbury's told me about these lanyards and would I like one? I thought it was a good idea but in practice I find it has made little difference as staff are not Autism aware and take no notice of the lanyard but other shoppers do and think I work in the store so then I get asked questions about where to find an item they are looking for which causes me problems as I struggle with the noise of the store and dealing with strangers.
I hope others have a more positive experience as I do think the idea is good in principal but it needs backing up with training.
