We’ve distributed over 20,000 free lanyards and buttons across Hong Kong. Here’s what they are, who they’re for, and how to get one.
What is the Talos Foundation neurodiversity lanyard?
Talos Foundation’s neurodiversity lanyard is designed specifically for Hong Kong. It’s bilingual — printed in both English and Cantonese — so it works for the people who actually live and move through this city.
Wearing one signals to staff, transport workers, and anyone nearby that you might need a bit of extra time, patience, or support. You don’t have to explain your condition. You don’t have to have a visible disability. The lanyard does that for you.
Talos Foundation distributes them for free across Hong Kong, alongside neurodiversity awareness buttons.
Who is it for?
Anyone who is neurodivergent, has an invisible disability, or is a caregiver or ally. That includes people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sensory processing differences, chronic illness, anxiety disorders, and more.
No proof required. No application process.
Where to find a free lanyard in Hong Kong
Talos Foundation distributes lanyards through a growing network of partners across Hong Kong — schools, hospitals, corporate offices, and community organizations. New distribution partners have recently come on board, expanding reach across the city.

How to request one
You can request a free neurodiversity lanyard directly through the Talos Foundation products page. No cost. No lengthy form. Just your delivery details.
Why we do this
The programme started with one straightforward idea: give neurodivergent people a way to signal they need support, without having to explain themselves every time.
Twenty thousand lanyards later, the demand hasn’t slowed down.
