Alternative to sunflower lanyard

Scout 9 months ago

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.

I occasionally use a glass button badge, I’ve found it useful at airports and train stations, most staff recognise the badges meaning without me looking too obvious, I know the puzzle piece isn’t liked by everyone, it’s just my personal choice. The badge just lives in my pocket and normally just goes on my coat lapel when I feel the need. I find it helps me when I’m less verbal.

FWIW I prefer the puzzle piece autism. It shows difference and fitting together - that appeals to me personally.

Thanks, I chose it as it doesn’t have a missing piece. Nice to see you back.
