Autism isn’t always visible, especially in girls who “cope”. Hannah talk's about sensory processing, communication needs, tribunals, and why familiarity can make or break a college choice.

"When you're already overwhelmed, even support that's available can feel impossible to access."

🎙️ In the latest episode of Sunflower Conversations, Hannah, an occupational therapist, autism specialist, and mum of two autistic children with ADHD, shares her daughter's experience of transitioning from school to college.

From masking and sensory overload to EHCPs, tribunals, and finding the right educational support, this conversation offers honest insight into the realities many autistic young people and their families face.

A thoughtful listen for parents, educators, support professionals, and anyone wanting to better understand autism.

AD | What you see vs what someone may be experiencing

"I have been using our Sunflower lanyard for years with my children, from days out to travelling through airports.

For us the Sunflower conveys that we may be experiencing sensory overload, finding communication or processing information difficult, or simply need a little more time, space and understanding."

When a parent or carer is no longer standing at the school gates, it changes everything for autistic young people.

Support that looks "good on paper" isn't always the support your child can actually access. Hannah shares what helped her daughter the most was asking very specific questions:

- Who do they go to if they're overwhelmed?
- What support is available, and how do they access it?
- Will they still get help if they can't advocate for themselves?

What's been the hardest part for you: school, college, or the paperwork in between?

A Sunflower wearers view:

“And just like that... Dublin! What a perfect day to land home. The views over the bay as we approached were absolutely breathtaking. You just can't beat that shade of green!

A huge shout-out to the crew on our Ryanair flight. Not only was the service great, but it was wonderful to see their support as a Sunflower member and know that Dublin Airport , also a committed Sunflower member, is there for me on touchdown. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard makes such a positive impact, ensuring passengers with non-visible disabilities feel supported and at ease while travelling. Well done Ryanair and Dublin Airport."

We have exciting news!

Cystic Fibrosis Ireland has become a proud member of the global Hidden Disabilities Sunflower network to help create a more inclusive and accessible environment.

Because Cystic Fibrosis is a non-visible condition, support and empathy are often overlooked. The Sunflower helps people share, if they choose, that they may need extra support, understanding, or more time.

Sunflower lanyards are available from Cystic Fibrosis Ireland member services or visiting: https://bit.ly/47QYQiC
