There's not a lot of support out there and, per my *disabled thread, it's unclear about what benefits, if any, we can access.

So, I've so far:
Got a disability badge from my county council
Today purchased an 'I am autistic' badge from Amazon
Today purchased loop ear plugs from Amazon
Purchased a disability toilet key from Amazon
What else can we do to make our lives a little bit easier?
The Hidden Disabilities (Sunflower Lanyard) website is brilliant for badges etc, they also published a terrific anthology of poetry by people with hidden disabilities and do great work in awareness raising. I first discovered them in the pandemic when searching for a “mask exempt9 badge but they do so much more and are really committed to helping those of with invisible disabilities.
