The sunflower ribbon around the neck isn't a new trend. This is a symbol in airports to warn staff that a passenger has a disability - a hidden problem and may need adjustments.

For example, at the airport, one of the security guards saw the tape around my neck and took us straight to a special assistant class, so we didn't have to queue to pass the security checks.

Example: Many children (autism) cannot cope with queues. Department stores are now tracking the use of sunflower tape as well. Let's hope other places follow this example.

My message is that if you see someone with a sunflower ribbon, keep in mind that they or anyone with them may have a hidden disability. A child with a tantrum because he can't eat a cake is likely to go through a complete sensory problem, not by choice but because he's confused. Maybe you could do a good job letting them walk in front of you in line or you could give them a little more space.

I'm not saying we need preferential treatment or we don't follow the rules I'm saying that sometimes you can and should make small adjustments that will make you act humanely and advance the spirit of the law over the law

To help people who need this kind of help…to avoid many problems and help solve them and preserve the feelings of this person.
