#hiddendisabilities — Public Fediverse posts

Die Tourismus-Information und die Stadt-Information im Münchner Rathaus sind seit diesem Jahr Teil der internationalen „#HiddenDisabilities #Sunflower”-Initiative.

Das weltweit etablierte Symbol – eine gelbe Sonnenblume auf grünem Hintergrund – steht für nicht-sichtbare #Behinderungen Alles #inklusiver und signalisiert, dass Betroffene möglicherweise zusätzliche Unterstützung benötigen.
Die Sonnenblumen-Schlüsselbänder, die dies zum Ausdruck bringen, sind dort ab sofort erhältlich.

Ich bin durch den Hashtag #unsichtbarebehinderung bzw #HiddenDisabilities auf das entsprechende Symbol gestoßen – eine Sonnenblume auf grünem Grund. Die Initiative kommt aus UK. Aus deutscher Sicht ist das Symbol nicht vom Symbol der Partei „die Grünen“ zu unterscheiden. Das macht die Verwendung des Symbols hierzulande mehr oder weniger zunichte. Gibt’s noch weitere verbreitete Projekte in die Richtung?

Swansea’s Quadrant rolls out sensory packs for shoppers

Packs to calm the chaos of shopping

The busy city centre shopping centre has introduced Sensory Packs containing noise‑reducing headphones, fidget tools and calming aids to help visitors who struggle with sensory overwhelm, anxiety or stress in crowded spaces.

The packs are available on request from the security team and are designed to make shopping trips less daunting for families and individuals who might otherwise avoid the Quadrant.

The centre has also signed up to the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower scheme, meaning shoppers wearing the sunflower lanyard can discreetly signal they may need extra support.

Training to tackle hidden barriers

Centurion, who own the Quadrant, say every front‑of‑house worker has now undergone specialist training with Wales‑based diversity experts Delsion, giving them the confidence to support neurodivergent customers and those with non‑visible disabilities.

The move comes against a stark backdrop. Research shows that three‑quarters of disabled shoppers have walked out of a store because of poor accessibility or service, while seven in ten never return after a negative experience. Campaigners say this underlines the importance of centres making visits easier and more spontaneous, without the need for detailed planning.

Adam Gibbons, Property Director at Centurion, said:

“Making sure our shoppers feel supported, understood, and genuinely welcomed is central to who we are. By equipping all our front‑of‑house team with disability inclusion training and introducing Sensory Packs, we are taking meaningful action to improve the experience of neurodivergent customers.”

“Positive example” for UK centres

Julian John, CEO of Delsion, added:

“It’s essential that shopping centres take proactive steps towards neurodiversity inclusion, especially as many neurodivergent needs are not immediately visible. The Quadrant is setting a positive example for centres across the UK.”

How to get a pack

Shoppers can request a Sensory Pack by approaching a security team member or visiting the control room on the first floor, near the lift and customer toilets.

Meine Behinderungen sind unsichtbar; darum trage ich das Sonnenblumenband, das international anerkannte Zeichen für "Hidden Disabilities" – und nein, ich bin nicht bei den Grünen.
In einer Welt für nicht-behinderte, allistische Menschen, die Inklusion nur in wenigen Bereichen mitdenkt, werde ich stark behindert.
Vom 19. - 25. Oktober ist die Woche der unsichtbaren Behinderungen.

Headline: How can HR reduce hidden disability discrimination at work?

Source: HRMagazine
From the article: “Educating staff on how to be allies, hearing from others what it is like to live with a given hidden disability, and fostering a more psychologically safe environment will go a long way to improving the conditions for staff to feel able to share their disability. There needs to be greater education, understanding and empathy towards colleagues, customers and visitors who may use disabled toilets, or ask for help due to their unseen disability or condition. Staff need to understand that, just because the person isn’t in a wheelchair, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t struggling, in pain, or in need of help.”

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple tool for you to voluntarily share that you have a disability or condition that may not be immediately apparent – and that you may need a helping hand, understanding, or more time in shops, at work, on transport, or in public spaces.

Globally 1 in 6 of us live with a disability. That is approximately 1.3 billion people.

But while some of us experience a disability that is visible, many have a non-visible condition or experience a combination of both visible and non-visible conditions. These disabilities can be temporary, situational or permanent. They can be neurological, cognitive and neurodevelopmental as well as physical, visual, auditory and include sensory and processing difficulties. They can also be respiratory as well as chronic health conditions such as arthritis and diabetes, chronic pain and sleep disorders.

Me gustaría conocer a personas que hayan usado la #tarjeta de #HiddenDisabilities en #aeropuertos y que puedan comentarme su experiencia. Me estoy planteando comprar una en inglés y otra en español, pero no sé si renta (los gastos de envío son...).

He visto en aeropuertos promocionándola para tener prestar una atención más personalizada a las personas con cualquier tipo de #discapacidad que viajan (solas o acompañadas). Así que me gustaría conocer testimonios de primera mano. ¡Gracias!

Wore my sunflower #HiddenDisabilities lanyard in a shopping centre to prevent staff from talking to me. Instead it turned me into a staff magnet and I became overwhelmed from everyone asking if I needed help. Not great. #ActuallyAutistc

Have you heard of the Jam card. It is available as a card or an app.

JAM stands for just a minute. It's a scheme that aims to help raise awareness with all kinds of service providers that some of us need a little more time during various transactions.

A great resource for autistic folks, those with learning disabilities or anyone with a hidden disability who would like a discrete way to ask for a little more time.
