Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

​​​About the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a discreet tool to signal to others that the wearer has a hidden disability and may need some help, extra time, patience and understanding.

It helps those with disabilities that are not immediately obvious, such as:

  • autism
  • dyslexia
  • chronic pain
  • dementia
  • anxiety
  • visual impairments
  • hearing impairments 

You can support someone with a hidden disability by:

  • asking if you can help
  • having patience
  • being kind
  • not judging
  • listening closely
  • showing respect
