Sunflower lanyard

I‘m debating getting a sunflower lanyard after doing some research. I struggle in my day to day life with various sensory issues and in public spaces I could do with people being mindful that I have a hidden disability (autism) and exercise patience and not assume that I’m being rude in certain social situations. I‘m also considering wearing one for my new job as I will be in a public facing role. I feel this may be beneficial for me as I know some of my autistic traits can be taken the wrong way by neurotypical folk so maybe having the lanyard would help with this especially as I only just got my autism diagnosis and I’m not confident with disclosing it to most people. I thought I would ask here people’s experience with using the lanyard as some first hand accounts may help with it it will be a useful tool for me.

  • I have a sunflower lanyard, Alert/I.C.E card, and a card from the NAS to be used with police/emergency services. I've worn the lanyard a few times, but never had to use the cards.Since the falls I've not been out on my own. My daughter has a key to my flat,so that usually gets used . Rather than my keys that are attached to the lanyard.
