i think all airports should do this genuinely i’m glad you have fun in america overall i love your story times they are the best !! love uu 🤍
yesss me too 🥺
Hidden Disability Program? That's my Christmas fights sorted.
EDIT: Flights, but also (internal) fights.
Gosh I relate so much. So proud of you! I know how stressful and scary it can be to travel alone when you have a form of autism. Also: SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU! Good luck and have fun!!
This story of incredible accessibility makes me so happy!!! Most airports in the UK have this now and I'll definitely use it next time I have to fly somewhere!
I'm glad to see someone on the spectrum travel alone. Im autistic and I've been traveling solo for years. I've been to six cities in within USA and I plan to go to more places. I never have issues navigating airports and mass transit, I research that before I go. I am scared to travel abroad because of the added security such as immigration but you are brave for traveling internationally alone.
Chloe, you're an amazing girl and that you're brave for traveling on your own. It's good to see that the staff was helpful and caring for you. The lanyards should be introduced everywhere as l seen some of the stories from others overseas. Great to see that you're having fun and that you're safe. Proud of you girl. All the best for your health and also your competition.
Well done for pushing yourself to get out of your comfort zone, even out of your home country - you can probably go anywhere now!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm going on my 5th overseas trip at the end of the year with my family (I'm 26) and have registered for the disability access at Melbourne airport. This means my family will also get the lanyards. I fly with Qatar airways and they are super helpful. Once my mum explained last time that I had autism I was able to get priority boarding, and they also stored my injectable medication in the fridge for me. They were lovely and I feel super confident flying with them again. It also helps that I have my parents with me who are totally understanding and super supportive. I also love Doha airport as it's super quiet with great soundproofing and low lighting. I'm so glad you're having a wonderful time and getting to fullfill a lifelong dream. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
That’s awesome, I’m so glad you had a positive experience! This is helpful to know... not that I’ll ever be able to fly anywhere... but still good to know.
I have high functioning Aspergers and I find sensory toys really help me a lot for going anywhere
I've heard of this sunflower lanyard but never in this detail. This was so informative! I wish the U.S. had something like that!
Oh my god I wish they had this in the US! I wish they just had this in life!! I don't think I'll ever go to melbourne (although I'd love to one day) but I hope it trickles down!!!
Hey there I was at your speech in my school today. You are so cool, and I really love your channel. I love horses too and I hope to get one of my own someday. Keep posting.
I wish I could have her come to my school but they would never let someone do that, idk why but they don’t do guest speakers and stuff like that
@@evie4265 she was really cool! My school doesnt normally get people in either so it was really nice to see them doing it, maybe your school will do the same 💛🙂
All three! helped, educated and entertained. Thank you :)
I went to Japan when I was 21. I enjoyed it, and I wish my experience had have been able to be like this. 1) STA Travel Agent contacts JAL, "We have an autistic student in this travel group. He's like Tajiri Satoshi," 2) I arrive at the airport on the morning of the flight and the agent, who was Japanese, says, "Is Peter Wynn here?" "Yes, that's me." "He speaks Japanese? Is that right?" "Yes." "This is (person's name), who'll be here to help you." 3) To the horror of one student in the group, who was a big mouth, "Would you like to come with me, please?" (the others get left in Economy Class and I get moved, at no extra expense, to First Class. I then ask the flight attendant if I can have the cover down over the window, as the bright sun annoys me. Hai (Yes). 4) same process repeated in Cairns. I arrive in Japan. I'm allowed to leave the plane before the others and I go to the baggage claim. Japan is actually a good place for a non-Japanese autistic, as it's clean, and many rules are written as well as unwritten.
I relate to what you say about buses and trains, too. I said to someone once that the best way to travel on the train for me, would be if I could order a seating pod, rather than just a single seat, and I could close it off from the rest of the carriage (well, allow some opening for a little fresh air).
I'm proud of you... Facing your fears is hard. I know.... it's hard for me to keep friends and stuff... im not on the spectrum but I have a few health issues that make having friends..... is hard. You make me feel like I'm gonna be okay,and it's okay to be normal(sorta).... 😙😙💜💜
Chloe, I have been following you on Instagram, but this You Tube Video tells me even more about your wonderful trip to Texas:)!! Chole, I could not be HAPPIER FOR YOU:)!! I am so HAPPY that you got to have 2 lovely people acting as Angels and helping you in the airport as much as on the plane:)!! I always say that the side effects of kindness is MORE KINDNESS:)!! It is like when I had to get an MRI, I am terrified of enclosed spaces and MRI machines are like circular coffins to me. When I told a Technician that I am Claustrophobic, She gave me headphones to listen to Country Western Music Channel and she talked to me every 5 minutes, letting me know where we were at with the test. Chloe, your experience on the plane and in the airport reminded me of my experience in an MRI Machine. Chloe, I am so HAPPY that you are getting to do what you love--compete in Equestrian Events:)!! And Chloe, I could not agree more with you when you said, "If only Schools and Workplaces understood hidden disabilities". I believe if only people understood, not just Autism, but also other hidden physical disabilities like Interstitial Cystitis which is a painful bladder disease that can only be seen in a Cystoscope and not with our naked eyes. Chloe, I so agree with you that Children's lives would be so much better IF Teachers understood hidden disabilities, just like those 2 Angels who work for Sydney Airport and Melborne Airport in Australia!! So, I pray Chloe that you will be continuing to do well in Texas and that your Angels will see you safely home:)!! And Chloe may you collect many more happy memories of your adventures in America to remember any time you feel frightened or doubtful, that you traveled alone, you did it, and your Fans, like me, could not be happier for you:)!!!!!!
Oh wow, thank you algorithm for dropping this in my recs just now! I'm also autistic, and currently struggling with some other neuro crap as well (PNES and migraines) and I've been dreading my upcoming travels! Now I see one of the airports I'm flying to/from is in this program, and I just wrote the other one asking if they'd maybe join in the future. :D
Also, _so_ envious of your amazing cowboying. That's the kind of riding I always wanted to do, but it's not a thing in Sweden. We're allowed dressage and showjumping and that's it (also cross-country if you're a daredevil who owns their own horse LOL). I rode a horse last summer for the first time in over ten years and it felt like coming home. Maybe one day I'll properly get back into riding again...
You. Came. To. The. States. 😭 lol
I know I wish I got to see her too it makes me sad i didnt
Hi u visited our school 2day u were very inspiring
Luv, u know ur changing people lives, you know what you are, AND YOU OWN IT!
I just got the sunflower Lanyard the sunflower LANYARD IS IN CANADA
I love you Chloe
Congratulations Chloe!
That's amazing ! I wonder if Brisbane and Sydney do this...
Well done with travelling I couldn’t go alone to another country that takes courage
that sounds like a great flying experience! i wish all airports were this helpful!
Finally, I can be proud of something my country did haha... Seriously though, when I travel alone I need to try this. I get nervous, less for myself, but for my things. Idk how I care more about my art than myself, but whatever lol. ∞
This is amazing to hear. I'd heard of the lanyards but I didn't realise this was a whole program. Also last time I went from Dallas to Sydney one of the flight there was a mother with an autistic son from my suburb! It's so good having this at Sydney and Melbourne and in my experience Dallas is by far the easiest airport in North America
I'm so happy I'm a primary school teacher aide
Ay yo, bruh, I just came across this video and I wish I had discovered your channel sooner! That was a really good point of how different schools, workplaces, etc. would be if they followed the example of an airport being that inclusive and accepting
That makes me want to cry! I am going to apply for when I go to visit SA next year if I can! :)
Hi i came her from colaiste iosagain ,i loved your speech that you have said and im very inspired so i wamted to check your channel put ❤
Oh that is why I'm here too😊
im currently planning a trip on the other side of the world and ive been so scared your videos have been super helpfull on how i can do it with debilitating anxiety
I could not, going to a store alone is like my ultimate try hard to get better every week
This is a pretty cool video I live in Texas
so cool
speaking of the plane Qantas is literally one of the best airlines why because they always have the one direction and 5sos and Harry the last flight i went on with them they also had a Niall video as well
Great information most airlines and airports are not equipped to help people who have disabilities of all types to be able to travel safely and securely and I am so glad that you had the opportunity and the chance to come to the United States even what’s cool is by yourself and I’m glad nothing was triggering because I would hate to see that happen for you and I am proud of you you are an inspiration to a lot of people and since you represented your own country that had to be a big honor and it sounded like in the video you were so proud to be able to do that and no one correction most airlines and airports are accommodating for people with disabilities of all types
That's awesome I am trying it out for the first time tomorrow! I love flying but early boarding would be awesome! For me everything goes too fast. If I can board early and be seated that would help.
TSA has a program for people with disabilities called TSA care's so even if the lanyard isn't something they're trained with you can get assistance.
It helped me through security and getting to pre which really reduced the stress of the speed of getting through those points.
Thank you for this video I also love horses too I want Take horseback riding lessons horses are awesome good luck in your competition I’m glad you made this video about the lanyards I feel like it would be a really helpful program for me since I have to travel to Jamaica next month and I’m terrified of the whole paperwork and Covid testing all of the whole process so anything to make it easier would be greatly appreciated
I relate to the plane part because I had to take a plane I swear I jumped out of my seat at least 20 times I almost screamed 100 times I was rocking back and forth trying to calm down and my mom had to hold my hand so those 2 hours in a plane were absolutely terrible
this is so nice to hear about!
Hii, Ive been diagnosed with autism about a year ago and I am about to fly internationally for the first time since being diagnosed. How did you bring your weighted blanket? I would love to bring mine but I wouldn’t even know how. Do you or anyone else in the comments with ASD have any tips on how to make the trip as easily and smooth as possible?
In the UK we have the hidden disabilities lanyard, especially in a pandemic where you can be exempt like me. Also dose US recognise HD lanyard?
I live in Texas! Originally from Europe!
Hi Chloe, I will be travelling with my 6 year old son for a 14 hour flight. He is Autistic, and I'm wondering what airline did you take?
Damn this seems like an awesome program:o i hope/wish there is something over here in the netherlands aswell.
You are very very coolllll
Omg the gun thing is so true tho. Welcome to ‘Merica, where literally everyone has guns on them 😳😳
I live in America and I don’t know if my airport has anything like this how would I find out ? This seems very helpful I have high functioning Aspergers and I am a 20 year old female
Ur so like Hunter
I like the idea of wearing the sunflower lanyard, but I'd think much more people than you'd think would know what this lanyard is, and I'd feel way too embarrassed to wear one, but it's nice to let others know there's a reason why I'm the way I am. We have a disability month now, so it's obvious there's posts including the sunflower lanyard. Soon most people would know.
I’m sorry - you said you almost got lit on fire one time?! WHAT- I just- HOW could that happen and why?? I’m so confused and I need a storytime like ASAP even though it probably wouldn’t be healthy for my anxiety but just WHAT happened
I know you just said that randomly because you were reminded of it and it wasn’t to do with your trip but yeah
Hey I’m convinced I have aspergers but my parents don’t want me to be diagnosed or treated differently :/
Same here with my parents, my old university was going to help me but then I left. I have self diagnosed myself but i do tell people that
Same, my mother started punishing me for my stimming after she saw a disabled kid on tv do the same stims and now she cannot imagine having am autistic son🙄 I am
I wish airports/airlines in the US, and especially in Florida where I live, would give a damn about autistic people instead of kicking us off flights.
I checked the website and there’s airports in Florida that support the sunflower lanyard!
Hello my name is Ashley Griffith and I am 32 years old and I have high functioning autism
Im a mum about to take my HFASD son on his first flight, this video was really helpful.
I wonder what my life would’ve been like if my parents had a lot of money.
We'd have had what we needed as kids
"Noone knows what it means"... you can tell this was pre-covid... everyone and their dog wears these now... it bugs me a lot and I feel like I get judged a lot wearing my lanyard because people think I'm "one of those people" who just doesn't want to wear a mask...
Hi Chole
Are you O.K?
shes came withen 45 minutes of me and i didnt get to go see her😭😭
