AIBU to question sunflower lanyards for adults at airports?

Why do adults need sunflower lanyards at airports?
My SIL wears one as she says she can't cope..... when I asked her how she coped pre lanyards, she just said she did.

So if she coped then, why can't she cope now?

What does she think will happen at the airport? Surely adults can manage their own behaviour/actions and if they can't they shouldn't be travelling.

What does an adult wearing one, expect to happen at an airport?

A disgusting post? Tom Hardy has publically announced his autism. He did so in New York. Calm down.

It is hardly a disgusting post, stating whilst no hierarchy in disability there are different impacts and severities. Nothing exactly groundbreaking that I said?

7 in 10 GPs in this country currently think ADHD is over diagnosed for example, so do have a word with yourself. It’s a perfectly valid opinion to hold. You only need to look at the percentage of people who agree with the OP in regards to this matter.

Gps dont diagnose ADHD or Autism.

GP’s have nothing to do with diagnosing autism or ADHD and the majority are generally clueless about both.
