Here are some useful travel items for Neurodivergents to make it easier :)
A notebook is perfect to list out all plans, write down any extra thoughts, and to doodle in as a stim!

Processing our thoughts and verablizing them can be difficult at times, therefore these cards can make it easier to interact in airports or in lesser known locations!
Communication Cards
Fidgets are perfect for on the go!

Blankets are perfect as a sensory soother and to keep one warm! It would also be an item that is familiar…therefore familiarity can bring lots of comfort with new changes of scenery.

Fuzzy socks are perfect for car rides and for airplanes. They can provide a lot of comfort to a neurodivergent, I would just check if they have any sensory issues with socks beforehand :)

Sunglasses are perfect for sensory issues with light, even fluorescent lighting at the airport.

Loops earplugs are good for noisy airports, cars, and other places!

Fidget keychains go perfect on a backpack or purse.

Owala water bottles are perfect because they have a straw and a regular lid to drink out of. They do not spill and go through TSA (with no liquid in them beforehand).

Neck pillows can provide comfort while keeping the neck stable (neurodivergents tend to have more neck issues or even hypermobility comorbidities)!

Plushies can provide a lot of comfort and bonus points if it aligns with a neurodivergent's special interest or hyperfixation!
