I love my keyring cards. It's like having an easy-read, personalised book that summarizes my disability and needs - so I can quickly, effectively, and with minimum energy, let people know the essentials in a way that makes them smile, understand and accept.

Hand holding a fanned out set of laminated cards, with colour coded pale borders. the top one says "I have a hypermobility spectrum disorder. My joints bend too far, come out of place, and injure easily, causing pain and fatigue. Some people with an HSD also have problems with digestion, heart rate, and more. Sometimes I might look fine, other times I might use braces or a mobility aid. It hurts and is exhausting. It is why I need more rest. It is my normal." Other visible cards include ones covering autonomic dysfunction, pain, fatigue, recharging, and being non-verbal - only there isn't enough of the cards showing to read them.

And I can give situation-specific instructions wherever needed (whether it's that I'm currently non verbal, or I need to lie down, or am in sensory overload etc) without having to find the right words in the moment.
