Alternative to sunflower lanyard

Scout

Hi all. 

I've been wondering for a while now but haven't come across anything more subtle, than the sunflower lanyard. 

I'd rather have something more low key which alerts staff or security of additional needs or understanding, that the now universally used sunflower lanyard. 

Is anyone aware of another way which I can subtly inform of my autism? 

I really don't want the world to know, stand out in a crowd, excuses or sympathy from others.

It's quite awkward having to try and find a worker and explain to this stranger that I may need some support.

  • You could get an autism ID card that you could show to people you want to see it. That way no one else needs to know except who you show it to. I have an autism ID card that I got from the NAS shop and have found it more than helpful as I can show it to shop assistants and strangers when needed, like for example if I'm not very vocal or  there's an impending meltdown.
