Sunflower lanyard

I'm flying for the first time since my diagnosis and found this on the airport website https://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/help/assisted-travel/non-visible-disabilities/ I'd never heard of sunflower lanyard before. I'll be on my own so it seems like a good idea for me to get one to deal with the buzz and business of the airport especially being able to use the fast lane at security. I thought the assistance point was for people with physical disabilities before reading that. However I'm a bit wary of asking for the lanyard, what am I supposed to say without feeling guilty/self-conscious? I wondered if anyone else had used the lanyard and what their experience was?

  • I tried wearing mine in Edinburgh airport, but it did nothing. I was hoping it would get some attention so I could get help for my son's knee, but the only time it got a comment was being told to take it off for the scanner and being subject to a search as I'd left a tissue in my pocket.
