From the UK - re the sunflower lanyard, I wear mine during my work commute, at church, round shops etc. - having the lanyard does mean people will (sometimes) ask if you need help. Also useful if due to your hidden disability, you need to use disabled-accessible facilities, certain seats on public transport etc. Helps to spread awareness. And nudge people into having a bit of patience - it’s not that I can’t do stuff, I just might be slower at it than other people.
I can't believe that, after watching dozens of videos on packing for travelling, this is the first one where wet wipes are mentioned. They are essential to me. I carry them with me all year round.
Hey, very frequent traveller here. Just found out recently that I'm ND. I do all the same things you do, but here some additional tips: - lightly shaded sunglasses, the light on planes is too bright at times - sleeping mask - own pillow for night flights Also regarding the backpack: I have tried many solutions for hand luggage, but my favourite by far is a backpack trolley, that I can keep on my back when I need my hands free, or have to run, but can roll it most of the time.
@@anna-marianunezvega1520 All great suggestions. I like having a baseball cap for flights for the overhead light situation for sure. Do you bring a special travel pillow? The Trtle (Turtle) looks like it could be handy. Never heard of backpack trolley! Will have a look :)
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel I have the "outdoorer Runway-33 Trolley Backpack" it has real skater rolls, so it is very smooth and quiet. Travel pillow I actually have a small memo foam pillow that was sold as travel pillow at Aldi. It is like my big side sleeper pillow, so I find it soothing. I only travel business class on long flights, so I don't really use the typical neck pillows anymore (and I never really liked them much). But I think the "Sleeperhold" pillow looks exciting for Economy class / car / bus travel
I googled it and yes, it looks very practical. Memory foam sounds comfy. LOL at the shirtless guy trying to sleep with the 'traditional' travel pillow on Sleeperhold website :D I have heard of it and it's tempting. I can see it being useful on coach journeys too.
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel I'm even thinking car journey. I live in India and have a company car with driver. Would certainly help for the journey home after a red-eye
Totally. I'm really keen to try more merino for those reasons. I have merino leggings and a long hoodie, good for flights, but they're not really summer attire 😄
I immediately subscribed! I am autistic traveler mainly by train and bike. I even have studied tourism but wasnt able to finish my degree. But I still love to travel and people are always amazed I am able to. For me it comes down to a good preparation. I use a bullet journal.. schedules, reservation numbers, what to do when, ice (in case of emergency) etc. Some things that I bring: 1. I always bring a fidget toys or something to fidget with. 2. Sunglasses and/or a hat.. 3. I also bring meal replacement bars because I don't like eating out especially when overwhelmed. 4. A foldable backpack as well as a foldable cup. Another note: The sunflower lanyard works mainly in airports (I rarely fly) and is not recognized by a lot of countries or companies. For example In the netherlands it is somewhat recognized but not in Germany. Do you do bigger trips for leisure or work? How did you get into traveling?
Wow! I am so glad you found my channel! Agree, good preparation is key, though you are much more organized than I am (I think it's my ADHD). Thanks for info on the sunflower lanyard. So it wouldn't necessarily help to wear it at an event in Germany? Right now I avoid all festivals, concerts etc because of the overwhelm. My business travel days are done now because I left my corporate job, but it was mostly things like week in NYC or Chicago (from London), and the most interesting was 10 days in India, though we had 3 locals assisting us at every step of the way, which made a massive difference. The rest of my major trips are leisure, yes. I've just always wanted to travel internationally, and made life/career choices that eventually supported that dream logistically and financially. :) P.S. I don't have a degree either.
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel it won't be immediately recognised as something the act on like at an airport or plane. But you could use it to indicate you are autistic. I don't go to concerts, so I can't give you any advice on that. But it never hurts to try and contact the event to see if they have something in place for autistic's. I am planning my trip to the Olympics in 2 weeks time! I have already been to the hotel, used the same travel route, seen the surroundings (not the venue) and know how to cycle to the event. I know I will be overwhelmed but it will be less... So you are from the UK!? I am traveling to the UK next year in april! 🥰
@@w.vangaal1077 Very cool you’re going to the Olympics! Yes I have been in the UK for a very long time but recently became a full time traveller. Hope you enjoy planning your UK visit. There’s tons to see and experience. Ping me if you have questions
It's such a strange feeling to learn you lived life in hard mode the entire time! Good luck with the ASD assessment. Hopefully they were able to incorporate some of your ADHD assessment notes too.
Hiya from Australia, just wanted to say thanks for the information about the lanyard as I didn’t know about it. I am a late diagnosis in my mid 50’s, would have definitely been helpful to know a lot sooner, but better late than never 😅. Though I tend to get hit in the head by handbags (which is very annoying) or even worse is someone’s bum right in my face 😂, when I board a flight as mine are all nearly 9hrs + and I always pick an aisle seat around the last rows anyway, even though it’s noisier behind the wings from the engines and babies, if there are seats vacant it’s usually right in the last rows. But I always travel with noise cancelling headphones the over ear type, and ear plugs and a mask for trying to sleep, they definitely help with my noise sensitivity.
You are so welcome! Flying domestic in Australia was such a good experience for me compared to US and Europe :) And I noticed Sydney has a quiet room too. So you too on the late diagnosis? Better late than never, as you say :)
❤Thank you!❤ All of your suggestions are perfect for me! I was late diagnosed, too, and all the other travel hacks just don't work for me - yours are spot on! I had no idea about the Sunflower lanyard! I'm off to get one now! I wish you much success! 🎉
Omg, I'm so thankful to have found your channel. I'm also late diagnosed (AUDHD) and your video reminded me to check on the status of my sunflower lanyard 😅
The views on this one are HUGE! I also love to check out a creators most popular video and this is…holy wow! Getting some attention. I love it. Your home is beautiful and so is your kitty cat. I’m not a traveler so I can really appreciate these tips I wouldn’t be thinking about it a lot of these tips. Wow, how cool about the lanyard is a sign for special accommodation. Now I’ll know too if I see someone wearing one. And the iPod leach thing is so rad. Great video.❤❤
Thank you {blushing}. I am still surprised at how many views this one got. This isn't my house btw! I travel so most videos have a different background (I should make that clear so people don't think I just live in a ginormous house or something)
Loved your tips, always travel with wipes or damp flannels in a Ziplock. I travel quite a bit usually. Really need a phone lanyard, and probably some warm socks. I always get cold feet. New Subscriber❤ also I'm glad you mentioned your sunflower lanyard, helps if people are more aware and hopefully kinder. X
Glad it was helpful! Ah yes, flannels dampened with soapy water are great. haha yes cold feet are the worst esp when you're in transit can can't move around much to warm up!
😔I was just diagnosed in November, so yeah, late diagnosis as well. 🤔I had no idea the sunflower 🌻 is even a symbol. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and thank you for all of these tips.❤
Late diagnosis buddies unite! Better late than never, right? Glad you found it helpful. It seems like a lot of people aren't aware of the sunflower symbol ....
Shoes - I always travel (fly) wearing my heaviest/bulkiest footwear to save room in my case/bag. So that’s trainers or walking shoes. When I get to the airport I just unlace them, tuck the laces in and wear them as ‘slip ons’ just to get through security
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel no, I push them right in to the shoe and then put my feet in. You can feel the laces so from a sensory point it might be an issue but I only do it for the few minutes to get through security
I wear earbuds and a cabeau neck pillow on long flights. The neck pillow holds the earbuds in place and I feel like I’m in a comfy quiet place. The cabeau has a bag and you roll it up. It ends up softball sized. So easier to bring with you.
Hi from Canada, just found you! I always bring one of the stain pens (Tide is commonly available here) in case I spill something and then the spill will bother me for the rest of the day.

❓Is the Sunflower lanyard known throughout the U.S.? My grandson who looks like a grown man will be flying for the first time next year. I will be with him but I am a nervous flyer and haven't flown in decades. I'm going to be as calm as possible to help him but he may be able to read my face. He has panic attacks and high anxiety so I'm wondering if a sunflower lanyard will be enough to let people know to help him, without me speaking up and making him feel self-conscious?
That's a great question, and I don't know for certain. It seems like the Sunflower lanyard is gaining wider recognition. I think it's likely the airport staff will be trained but it couldn't hurt to look on their website or otherwise try to find out in advance if there's a quiet room or what additional assistance is available. Unless he has the card that also shows the disability the lanyard itself will only indicate to staff to be more patient etc. Hope that helps? :) Maybe someone else who has spent more time in the US will know more too.
I just did a little digging about this myself for a flight next summer. On the Sunflower Lanyard web page, they link to some partner airports who will provide the lanyards for free. It's probably safe to assume that airport employees at these locations have at least been briefed, if not trained. The employees of specific airlines, however, may not be.
I have worn the sunflower lanyard on multiple trips in the last 3 years but have never been provided any priority or assistance because of it. Correction, only once. I was shown to the priority lane through security.
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel reasonable price, too. I've had an early model since 2010. I just replaced it. This one is so much better especially with the wide mouth opening. I'm not sure why Vapur products are not advertised more. They are a great travel product.
That's a great idea! I am planning a content series around overwhelm by types of destinations but the actual **getting there** is also a concern. Consider it done (though may take awhile)
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel I can’t wait 💜 I volunteered in Ukraine recently and the train station in Warsaw was 10x more stressful than anything else i experienced 😭
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel in my case it was finding my train, and finding the section of train to go to (when I went they didn’t show my ticket on the ticket board and I almost missed it) also the large crowds were super overwhelming
What do you use the rosewater spray for? Sounds nice! I have also tried making my own nail polish remover pads (so they aren't a liquid) and that didn't go so well (video coming soon) ... but these can be purchased ready-made...
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel spray my face first thing in the morning, and any time during the day to refresh. No need to drag cotton wool pads across the complexion: just close eyes and spray

Probably a lot more comfortable sleeping without the earbuds. The engine noise is a good whitenoise.
