My Experience with the Sunflower Lanyard

- Hi! The sunflower lanyard scheme allows people with hidden disabilities to get the assistance and understanding they need when travelling or out and about. I wanted to share my own experience of travelling with a sunflower lanyard, which has been very positive so far! I hope this helps if people have any questions or worries about getting a lanyard!
Love,

Thank you for creating this video! I have anxiety and always worry when out in public.etc this video was really helpful and i know im not alone and shouldn't be ashamed of wearing one! You definitely deserve a lot more subscribers !
Thank you so much! It honestly means the world to me that my video has been helpful ❤
I suffer from autism and wear one in the three supermarkets that operate the scheme. It saves so much time and frustration as I tend to go blind to the things I'm looking for. The staff will show you where things are, make sure an item is what you want and you've successfully loaded it into the trolley. The scheme is spot on for what I need!
I have mild Asperger’s Syndrome and got my sunflower lanyard through the post yesterday. I also ordered it with a plastic wallet, Main info card and the recent face covering exempt card. I just hope other people understand, especially if I board a bus or train without a face covering.
Does this help with that? I have autism and I have one too.
The sunflower lanyard is not used to exempt yourself from a face covering. It’s to get additional support. You need a medical exempt card for face covering.
there is no such thing as mild aspergers
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 true
There is no such thing as "mild autism" we do not use this term. You e8gther are fully diagnosed with Autism or ur not there is no sugar coating when it comes to Autism there is no Mild!
Hello Jessica , I just received mine in Australia . Here in Australia they have signs now at train stations explaining what the Sunflower lanyards represent and how to help etc . Thank you for sharing ! As you said about piece of mind For me , everything is already kind of dificult , sensory issues etc .
Hiya , thanks so much for making this video, it was so helpful 😊 I have allways been to scared to ask the people at the shop if I could have one . I was worried about looking stupid , or I might do something wrong
I have just ordered one from online , seeing your video really helped me feel better . Thanks for being awesome 😊
Hi Jessica thank you so much for posting this it has eased my anxiety about using this service ^-^
Thank you so much for your comment! It's good to know that this has helped you :)
I have one as well got disability and autism so far so good some bad looks in shops but big test will be when I go to Edinburgh on Megabus with it
My daughter works in joules and they have been shown what these laynards mean and when they see one, and my daughter told me about the scheme and now im proud to wear mine and not have to explain because I have the hard of hearing card on mine , its so hard because I can't lip read anymore being out and they lift there mask up so I can understand. Wish a mask was made so we can lip read shop staff and so on. But its nice knowing a lot of people are knowing what the sunflower lynard means .
So ty I enjoy going shopping more now.. feel more confident now going out on my own..
Hi great video! 🌻
I will get one of these. I’ve been a bit reluctant because I have an obvious physical disability and am in an electric wheelchair. I have lots of hidden disabilities which is the purpose of the lanyard. I don’t expect to be treated any differently but it’s reassuring knowing people will be aware I have other hidden disabilities.
I have got lanyard and wristband for my austim
Oh my goodness you are an absolute legend!! How have I not seen your account yet?! You are so inspiring.
Thank you for letting people know abou this. Especially with masks needed on public transport and from Friday 24th July 2020 in retail stores due to the coronavirus.
These lanyards are NOTHING to do with masks
Perfect for avoiding muzzling ourselves in this "New Normal"
Got mine today should be no problems from here on
All the bullshit and mixed messing's we are getting !!!!!
🙏💜🌍💜🙏
I got mine from Heathrow just sent an email to special_assistance@heathrow.com saying name and address, flight number terminal number and how many needed. With in about 5 days it arrived in the post. you can get them from the airport as well if not able to have it sent in the post
Hi Jessica! I'm a third year Geography student at the University of Birmingham currently undertaking research into the experiences of people with mobility-related hidden disabilities in public spaces. Your video was really informative, and I was just wondering whether you would be interested in answering some questions about your experiences when using the lanyard? Thanks,
Emma
