What is a non-visible disability?

Not all disabilities are visible.

Many people live with conditions you can’t see, but that are part of their everyday life.

The Sunflower is a simple way to show that someone may need a bit more time, support, or understanding.

Recognizing it can make a real difference.

See the Sunflower? Here’s how to show support.

1. Be patient, the person may need extra time
2. Offer help, but don’t assume, just simply ask "How how can I help you".
3. Be kind, small acts of understanding mean so much
4. Never ask them why they are wearing the Sunflower

Together, we can make the world more welcoming for people with non-visible disabilities.

Have you seen the Sunflower Extra card?

Your Sunflower lanyard already signals that you have a non-visible disability and may need a bit more time, support, or understanding. The Sunflower Extra card builds on this, helping you share more about the support you need, when you choose to.

Here’s how it works. You carry your card just like your regular Sunflower card. When you want to share more information, simply hold it near a smartphone. A private page appears with the details you’ve chosen to share, so you don’t have to explain things out loud.

More support. Less explaining. More confidence.

Who is the Sunflower for? Maybe someone you know, maybe you.

Anyone with a non-visible disability can choose to wear the Sunflower. 🌻

Anyone who wants to be seen and supported.

From people who may need urgent toilet access, to those who can’t stand for long periods, to someone who may need more time in busy places, the Sunflower is for them.

It’s a simple way to say: “I may need a little more time, support and understanding today.”

Autism is a condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, interacts with others, and experiences their environment. It is a lifelong developmental disability that affects people in different ways. Every Autistic person is unique.

Autistic people may have intense and highly focused interests.

Autism is lifelong. Autistic children grow into Autistic adults.

Some things to know:

Some Autistic people are non-verbal or selectively mute, meaning they may not speak
Noise, smells and bright lights can be overwhelming or distressing
Autism can affect people of any age or gender
An estimated 1 in 100 people are Autistic
Autism affects how people communicate and interact with the world

Choosing to wear the Sunflower indicates that you, or someone with you, has a non-visible disability and may need additional support or simply a little more time.

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

Do you know our Sunflower story?

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower was chosen because the sunflower is a universally recognised and cheerful symbol that suggests happiness, positivity, strength, growth, and confidence.

It’s discreet yet visible, its bright yellow colour and distinctive shape make it easy to spot from a distance, helping wearers feel recognised without needing to explain their disability out loud.

- Discreet yet visible: subtle, but clear enough to show you may need extra support
- Positive and uplifting: sunflowers spread warmth and understanding
- Universally recognised: a sunflower means something good, wherever you are in the world

Without a clear, visual sign, it can be hard to understand the daily barriers faced by people with a non-visible disability. The Sunflower helps bridge that gap, with just one small symbol.

The Sunflower is a simple, globally recognized symbol that helps people with non-visible disabilities discreetly signal they may need more time, help or understanding.

Globally, 1 in 6 people, that’s over 1.3 billion, live with a disability. Up to 80% of these are non-visible disabilities, like chronic pain, autism, anxiety, ADHD, diabetes, Crohn’s and more.

That means it’s likely someone in your workplace, team or business lives with a non-visible disability, even if you can’t see it at first glance.
From your shop floor to your staff room, the Sunflower helps create an environment where everyone feels seen and supported.
Learn how your organization can become more inclusive with the Sunflower.
