Ways to make public outings easier?

Eyates

Hi was wondering if anyone could put me in the right direction of maybe some glasses for sensory overload, and I would love to find a good way of making my hidden disabilities more public when it comes to using didsbility facilities when I'm able to thank you!

Was diagnosed early this year and I've still found it hard to figure things out to make stuff easier, I have headpgones whenever I go out which helps but I hate having to look down when I'm walking anywhere. Public transport I dislike the looks I get when others see me using accessible options for disabled people, any tips would be incredible!

  • There is a hidden disabilities lanyard one can get, so that might be something worth considering. They can be purchased from a variety of online retailers. 

    As for glasses for sensory overload, hopefully other members may be able to advise. One thing I have read though is that glasses with rose-tinted lenses can help to reduce sensory overload.

    For what it's worth, I'm not a fan of using public transport either. In my case, it's due to social anxiety and a strong dislike of my personal space being invaded.
