Their website says the offer assistance:

This includes:
The Sunflower Room in Terminal 1 is to aid Assisted Travel Guests who need to break away from the noise, bright lights and crowds of the main Departure Lounge to help them relax and feel calm in a quieter environment.
A sunflower lanyard will help as this is widely used to identify people with invisible disabilities such as autism.
You can reach them via this link which also has advice on how much notice you need to give:
