I explain it like my brain is a computer, the hard drive is fine but the software is f**ked!

I have CPTSD diagnosed at 2018 I feel I get no help

Also 1 and 5 people make up in the usa with a disability my twin sister and I both are autistic. I wish I could have this lanyard bc my twin sister and I traveled the airport once by ourselves to see some family and it was this whole situation even though we both are high functioning autistic people. They were supposed to get us from the gate and take us to the next it didn't happen we wondered on face time with my mom and eventually asked a pilot that was heading for his next plane to help. He did help and got his boss to help us. It was only after they talked to my mom on FaceTime and the pilot that they actually helped us.

So... you want mark disabled people with a sign? I'm not an expert, but I guess that's what the Germans did 80 yearss ago.

I live with cPTSD and ABI from childabuse and domestic violence. I'm glad to have found this video since I struggle with hidden disabilities too. I hate the saying that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." It's invalidating. Trauma doesn't make you stronger. It hurts you. Sometimes a bad situation is just that- a bad situation.

I need about each of these icons.

Let’s make infographics of the hidden disabilities icons with an easy read and or plain language description alternative text options. Let’s share.

You are ace! I wore it on my flight and it helped so much.

Does this not feel a bit like segregation, like it needs to be made clear if ANY disability is existent?

I too have FND. I describe it as if I were in my kitchen with all my lovely working appliances. If I've decided to make a snack, I press the button on the toaster and instead of the toaster turning on the stove lights up. I open the refrigerator and the blender starts to whir. All of my appliances are working, however, the messages are being sent to the wrong appliance or in the wrong way. You could even say, the hardware in my nervous system is working, but my software has some devious malware at work causing any number of disruptions. Thank you so much for sharing this very important and timely message!

What a great interview! We really aren't aware enough of conditions like these and how they affect people's everyday lives! This is so helpful for non-disabled people to understand how they can support and empower people with FND and Fibromyalgia.

Thank you, Gabrielle, for discussing this; I was previously unaware of either.

I wish there was one for neck support. I have arthritis in my neck and I kinda fear ending up unconscious and in the hospital while there pillows may not be supportive of my neck so I’ll have to feel with that for days/weeks after the fact.

I’ve been going through isolation trying seeking connection with others overtime. I noticed the sunflower lanyard is not much past the US airports . I’m looking to create a series of grassroots movements leading to the sunflower power movement . Programs publishes projects, donations of energy of different types from contributors banding together, making small peaces to help bridge gaps between communities . Demonstration stations . With for example, literature, whether bookmarks cards, postcards books, zines fanzines magazines recipes menus developed on the sunflower Café cart style stations. Worm / sunflower , etc Gardening farming, activities exercises, experiments lessons, help support one another. (ALLy 4 United Stations) A4US Presents LiViNg MaTtErS

Got myself the lanyard with the card for free and look fwd to use it in my soon traveling.

Oh my gosh, I just learned about this program. I’m definitely grabbing one next time I go to DFW. Thank you!!!

Do you have it but I hard of hearing

Thankyou for this video I have been diagnosed with cptsd & fibromyalgia also costochondritis, when I had my 1st panic attack no one had heard of them as the internet had not started yet, I was at the top of mount Snowdonia driving when I found it hard to breath then my Jaw locked up, that went onto shaking leg which was the pits, I thought I was the only person on earth that had these it was a terrible many years of being rushed to hospital and full of people telling me there is nothing wrong with me, if I knew how I could right a book on these hidden illnesses, it was many many years before I even meet anyone who had known about panic attacks, I was just a problem no one wanted to know about....now 60 years old... Alan Devon

I want to give these to all my friends and see who wears them 🌻

I have CPTSD and found this really informative, even though I've learned a fair bit about these conditions through personal experience. This is a really helpful podcast and a great resource

I'm so sorry Martin to hear of your illness my heart goes out to you. I suffer very badly with nerve pain and chronic migraines fibromyalgia etc. the nerve pain is in my pelvis and worse on my left doctors of all sorts don't know what is the cause and alot of the doctors are at a loss and gave up on me and sent me to a pain consultant and anything that he does hasn't helped me . I've had lodiocane infusions ketamine infusions and put on venaflaxeine but I'm still in so much pain and discomfort. I can't lie flat on my back as it triggers nerve pain in my left glute which goes then into my saddle region, I can't lie on my left side and definitely can't sit at all. Standing is not possible for to long, I can only lie on my right side which is getting sore from always being on my side. How it all started was lower back pain with pins and needles in saddle region and inner legs so I was given an epidural nerve block into my sacrum which was like a bomb going off it gave me new nerve pain and made my old nerve pain 100times worse. I'm already on Lyrica and on venaflaxeine so I'm being told there is nothing else that can be done only another pundendal neuralgia nerve block and after the nerve block into my sacrum I am to afraid to get it done. So I feel doomed.

I’m autistic and I use a sunflower lanyard!🌻❤

waar kan ik een keycard binnen korte termijn zelf halen

As a member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower myself, awareness is important as I'm with an employer that has embraced my Hidden Disabilities and the Sunflower lanyard.

I forgot to add the sensitivity to smell icon when making mine. But I sometimes get nauseated by the smell of certain cleaning products.

I love this campaign. I have both a visible disability and invisible disabilities. Every single person that I have spoken to has absolutely no idea what the sunflower lanyard represents. Many people think I wear it because I like sunflowers ! If I tell them it’s something to do with disability, they still have no clue. Do you think it’s time that the campaign was reignited in the general media?

Recently diagnosed in June 2023 that backdates to my childhood, Awareness is a Must! I also think the word 'disability' needs to be changed from being used on those with Autism as it's a difference, not a disability. Let me know what you think on this.

I wanted to buy some of the bracelets from the website, which were $3.50. Unfortunately, shipping/etc. was $17. You can do better.

I myself have autism and I agree that we need to raise more awareness of hidden disabilities, but I wouldn't go as far as to say every day should be Autism Awareness Day, as there are so many other issues that need awareness as well.

where do i get one.

I have one and I love because it let other people know that I have a disability. I am an adults with special needs. It help me feel comfortable.

Heel mooi. Ik heb er zelf ook een en mijn vriendin ook

I think I have anxiety as I'm showing all the symptoms and I might need one of these

This is wonderful

I think I have anxiety as I'm showing every single one of the symptoms so I need one

I wish we didn’t need this. But seeing as everyone is always ALWAYS assumed to be able it’s very frustrating and sometimes embarrassing to disclose my disabilities to a stranger. You never know what someone is going through. You don’t know a stranger. Be patient for everyone. Disliking someone for their disability before knowing they have a disability is still ableist in nature and those feelings need to be challenged. I appreciate the support for the hidden disability community. It forces people to challenge their views on those of us who just need more support.

Not them using Aspergers, an outdated term named after a fucking nazi that also correlates to the myth that there is a thing as high-functioning and low-functioning autism, which was historically used in eugenics 💀

What a great video. This really helps me explain my side

What absolute BULL! I have a lanyard and it does NOTHING for me, the stupid stores who supposedly "support" the scheme don't want to know whenever I try and take them up on their offer, they won't turn off their stupid insane torturing radio will they? OH NO! They won't even listen and only totally avoid the subject and only treat me like absolute SCUM! So a fat lot of good this useless little green thing is, it's a complete waste of space! And what about far more severe MISOPHONIA?! THAT too is a hidden disability that utterly RUINS entire lives!

sorry but the only thing i could focus on is the cat in the corner of the video :)
