Is it okay to wear pins on my Sunflower Lanyard for conditions I’m not yet diagnosed with, specifically autism and/or ADHD? I want to add pins on it to make it feel a little less “clinical” while still having some that provide information about my struggles. If wearing pins for stuff I’m not yet diagnosed isn’t okay, I’ll instead wear a pin saying I have anxiety since I have that too.

(Sunflower Lanyard is to signify the wearer has hidden disabilities)

The sunflower is the official symbol of hidden/invisible disabilities.

Since most of my sunflowers are buried under reblogs and other posts by now, I'm getting them all together on new posts, so you can find everything more easily. Especially now that Pride is around the corner.

Feel free to use these and share them. I just ask that you credit me.

The Asexual, Aromantic, Aroace, Aroflux, Aceflux, Aroaceflux, Aegoromantic (or Autochorisromantic), Aegosexual, Apothiromantic and Apothisexual Sunflowers! For chronically disabled people with an invisible condition who are proud to be in the community.

If you'd like to have it on pins, stickers, tote bags, clothes and other merch, this and other pride sunflowers are all available in my shop. You can find merch with these on through the following links:

First time seeing sunflowers in this game. What a lovely surprise.

I love sunflowers!

And they are also the symbol of hidden disabilities of which I have a few. I am AuDHD and I have a sleep disorder called hypersomnia aswell as fibromyalgia. What about you?

Dealing with ppl who can't actually perceive how chronic pain works makes me mad.

Is your shoulder just always in pain? Yes!

How do you live like that? You get use to it.

You move around a lot for someone in pain? I mask my discomfort and just push through it.

Is it forever? POSSIBLY that's the fun part you're promised vaguely it could get better, but you're also told it's possibly forever too.

I already grieved the loss of function in my right shoulder and overcame it, some disabilities are not visible. It took almost a year for me to find peace. Just be mindful when I say no and respect that while I might appear capable I know my limits. That it's not some fake thing in my head just because I don't publicly display my pain every moment. I go out of my way to be out of sight when I'm at my worst so ppl don't worry.

The 'tude

One mistake I still often make is assuming that other people think like us and being autistic, very, very few people think like me in particular. I was talking to another artist the other day, I hadn’t seen their work but they had that aloof, school swot demeanour of someone of the contemporary end of the art spectrum. I looked them up afterwards… Bad Andy Goldsworthy knock offs and low grade…
