This is your reminder that disabilities often include fluctuating support needs! Sometimes you might need help and other times you don’t, and that doesn’t mean you’re “not actually disabled”

[@derogatorypoets]

this is great, very true my guy. Also, I see your comments everywhere and wanted to say hi even though you don't know me lol, whenever I see you I know I'm in the right place

[@charlieandhisantics9954]

Thank you goblin guy for always being here for us in the comments

[@olioccasionallyanimates27]

Today I learned from my therapist (who also is autistic and has hyper-mobility) that THE REASON I ALWAYS TWIST MY ANKLE IS FROM HYPER-MOBILITY

[@minksrule2196]

I have the same issue, I have learnt to be a lot more mindful of how I walk/run and have greatly decreased how often I twist my ankle

[@goblinguy3103]

2:03 I’ve had a similar experience. I am physically and mentally disabled in multiple ways, although not always visible. I was verbally assaulted for sitting on the train because people didn’t believe I was “actually disabled”, and therefore should have given up my seat. Leave disabled people alone, even if you can’t see their disabilities.

[@Jellyfish146]

My friend has told me utter horror stories about their wheelchair use, people are really presumptuous about other people needing help, it's ridiculous

[@Thecollectoristheruler]

I have been wanting to get a sunflower lanyard for a while, i have tourettes, autism adhd anxiety NES, DID and sometimes i become partially paralyzed, but i still feel like im faking it and dont need a sunglower lanyard because i dont use any mobility aids

[@elstarnor4628]

Please get yourself one. It is the least you can do for yourself, and if nothing else other disabled people will recognize it and know that you are one of us. If you have the money to do so, it is something you should do.

[@FutureMint]

What is NES? /gen. I also have a lot of disabling stuff lol 💀 (Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, EDS, hEDS, OSDD) and oh my god if people could understand, hey I can’t always stand do to my POTS, or I can’t always walk do to by EDS, even if I am not wearing a knee brace that day?!? That’d be great 😭

[@VampJasper]

I'm only diagnosed with autism (though I probably have more) and I still wear my sunflower lanyard. It doesn't matter how disabled you are, if you have an invisible disability you are allowed to wear a sunflower lanyard. Sunflower lanyards are great for bringing small things that help you out like communication cards if you struggle to speak, fidget/stim toys, noise-cancelling earbuds, and anything else you might wanna have on it :]

[@bizarre3228]

Definitely get yourself one! At first I was worried to wear mine but I found that decorating it with cute disability pins and some of my favourite things helps a lot, I also added a few small fidgets like a bat pop it, mini slug, and something that feels nice to hold when stressed. Adding communication cards or earplugs to it can also be a really great help but I don’t have these so I haven’t

[@FaruzansGoofyPigtails]

i'm going through a tough spot and this channel helps me cope :) keep doing what youre doing, love you❤

[@PenneyLan]

love these comps, as someone who’s hard of hearing :)

[@broken_queer_but_fighting8589]

Tw demanding Hey you yes you, take a deep breath let it out slowly, and lower your shoulders. I'm so proud of you being here. Thank you. Now make sure you take care of yourself and drink some water, eat something and take a stretch break

[@SOLAR-gacha]

IM HERE BESTIES!!! (LOVE THE WORK)

[@luminousmistakes]

I love how my family denies any thoughts of me being disabled in any way despite showing multiple symptoms and have never once thought to check /sarc

[@C4TTYG14M11]

I dont watch to relate or self diagnose but to learn.

[@marzettik]

We’re chronically ill bit spook to me. So legit.

[@derogatorypoets]

if anyone has the link for a sunflower lanyard I'd love to have it, I've really been needing to buy myself one and all the places I check aren't what I'm looking for. thanks for the cool video 🖤🖤🖤

[@olioccasionallyanimates27]

Replying cause I wanna know too! My sister has one but I don't wanna steal it

[@Ashes024]

Hi Molly Burke made a video about it, and in it she has a link to the shop. That's the best I can do

[@bizarre3228]

I got mine from a local small business sensory shop! Maybe see if there’s anything like that nearby you or any events that may have them for sale

[@randomxstuff]

You can buy one here: hdsunflower.com/uk/shop/lanyard-packs.html (UK) hdsunflower.com/us/shop/lanyard-packs.html (US) If you are living in another country, you can change the country in the top right corner. Though you may be able to get one for free! In the UK, lots of businesses will give them out for free such as supermarkets (I know Tesco does) and airports. I don't know the situation in other countries, but I'm sure there will be some places offering them for free.

[@FutureMint]

I got a sunflower lanyard today!!

[@speedysardine]

That’s awesome!!

[@FutureMint]

@@speedysardine mhm!!

[@Sawyerxxpancakes]

That’s so cool! Good for you!

[@olioccasionallyanimates27]

Howdy everyone! I'm making some silly goofy ocs and wanted to know if y'all would want a specific trait in em :3

[@_______Charlie_____]

hearing aidz!:) or being nonzpeaking! :) plz:3/poz/nf

[@randomnerpa]

I love these videos!

[@sandpiper_]

wondering if anyone with EDS has joint weakness but in this specific way that i don't feel like retyping because i'm typing this part before the second half of the comment, because for me my hips feel very weak sometimes and though i feel unstable i actually can walk just fine? this usually happens after walking a lot or if i really feel like torturing myself, running a lot.

[@elstarnor4628]

I’m not diagnosed with any physical disability, but this sounds like something that happens to me sometimes as well

[@minksrule2196]

I don't know if I EDS or not but I feel this in my knees

[@chrissyswifey]

2:02 i love this one

[@dontreadthisplease2416]

That one with the guy who has LITERAL CANCER getting that note on his car was just sad. Should really make anybody think thrice before doing that shit. Like congrats dude you bullied a cancer patient do you feel accomplished? Jesus. Saw some people with end-stage cancer while I worked in a nursing home. Fuck. Cancer. Also that last one was actually useful because I've always sort of been trained by places I've worked to "get on their level" when working with someone who's in a wheelchair. Like this is something that people who are supposed to know what they're talking about do teach you. Good to know that some people actively dislike that. Sort of like how a lot of people dislike person-first language yet that's also literally what they (by they I mean colleges, workplaces, etc) teach you as the only polite/respectful way to refer to a disabled person. I wish they would at least MENTION that plenty of disabled people actually dislike that lol.

[@Creepergirl7794.]

I really want (or actually need) a sunflower lanyard because I'm autistic, but my mom is insisting I don't. Her argument for it is, "that's ridiculous/useless/too much" or simply "no". I also want noise cancelling headphones, but my parents don't want me to because "then you'll wear them all the time". YEAH! That's the point, I need them to be able to function, but for whatever reason my parents aren't understanding this or they're simply refusing to believe I'm either not lying or looking for attention

[@Sawyerxxpancakes]

So I have childhood Apraxia of speech, and want to find something to identify that I have it to make it easier for someone to know. Side note, hope everyone is doing well or the best you can (eat, drink, take meds etc.) take care of yourselves ❤️🫶

[@wolfie_75]

SANTA IS COMING, get the gun...

[@Kalaniskove]

So about the sunflower lanyard, if my guardians haven't taken me to be checked out but I do have autistic traits (and self diagnosed with a years worth of research) do I still wear the lanyard or no, can you guys give me your ops please?
