Need this as a badge?!

Although actually all these pictures could apply to NRAS members.

It came from a website/Facebook page called Living with an Invisible Illness. Thought I ought to give them a heads up.

I've noticed this sign on some toilets and it's great.

Hey, it would be good to have it alongside the Blue Badge, to stop people glaring at you!

My son is going to either down load or copy this poster for my car as I've had quite a lot of abuse when parking in a disabled bay then getting out and looking absolutely"normal". Unfortunately this (i think) is a backlash from all the negative messages the DWP and benefits fraud have given out over the last few year's.

If u type in disability badges u can get them as car badges stickers as we got one don't make much difference you just get the idiot drivers up ur boot xx

Brilliant!!

Good morning everyone! We completely agree and we love this image and think it is an excellent idea! We have created some car stickers which are similar to these for RA Awareness week. Take a look on our shop; nras.org.uk/shop or if you have any other merchandise ideas, please do let us know! Have a lovely day!

I agree! This is the site I got this from - worth a look.

I was at the Department of Motor Vehicles and had my disability placard with me - I was looking at getting plates instead of the placard. Guy in front of me in the line says "Oh, turning that in?" and I told him what I was thinking of doing. His response of course "You don't look handicapped". I just smiled, but I wanted to say "And you don't look like an idiot".

This is a nice sign, but I doubt that it will change anything. If people can't see it, it doesn't exist...
