​That's a wrap on @pgconfeu 2025 Rīga! It was an honour to be on the organising committee again. Proud of the "Establishing the #PostgreSQL Standard" #Community Event, our "How to Work With Other #Postgres People" panel, my book signing turnout, and our support for the #HiddenDisabilitiesSunflower. Huge thanks to the committees, volunteers, sponsors, speakers, and awesome attendees who made this possible. See you in the next one! 🤗

Haltbar bis Irgendwann 🌈♾️Oct 19
Meine Behinderungen sind unsichtbar; darum trage ich das Sonnenblumenband, das international anerkannte Zeichen für "Hidden Disabilities" – und nein, ich bin nicht bei den Grünen.
In einer Welt für nicht-behinderte, allistische Menschen, die Inklusion nur in wenigen Bereichen mitdenkt, werde ich stark behindert.
Vom 19. - 25. Oktober ist die Woche der unsichtbaren Behinderungen.

Studie aus 2020: 70 % der autistischen Teilnehmer*innen gaben an, nicht-heterosexuell zu sein, verglichen mit etwa 30 % der neurotypischen Vergleichsgruppe.
Trans- und nichtbinäre Identitäten kommen ebenfalls häufiger bei Autist*innen vor; laut einer Studie haben bis zu 6-15 % der autistischen Menschen eine nicht-cisgeschlechtliche Identität – im Vergleich zu etwa 0,5-1 % in der Allgemeinbevölkerung.

Noch ein paar Beispiele aus der ganzen Welt.
Und auf dem letzten Foto heißt es dann: "Deutschland, was ist los mit dir?"
Meines Erachtens eine berechtigte Frage.

Boarded a flight from #frankfurt with the #hiddendisabilitiessunflower - the flight crew said that it was a neat coincidence as they'd just been briefed on it. I'm glad awareness is spreading!

I'm grateful to the kind staff at #atlanta airport who helped me get a #hiddendisabilitiessunflower lanyard when I was stressed out due to the procedure. It's a relief to have this extra symbol that asks for some extra space.

A symbol for non-visible disabilities, also known as hidden disabilities or invisible disabilities.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a globally-recognised symbol for non-visible disabilities, also known as hidden disabilities or invisible disabilities. Some people choose to wear the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower to discreetly identify that they may need support, help, or just a little more time in shops, transport or public spaces.

The #HiddenDisabilitiesSunflower program is designed for people who have what are sometimes called #InvisibleDisabilities.

A sunflower symbol displayed on a green lanyard, which is available for free at the airport, allows the wearer to voluntarily show that they have a -disability and may need extra time, patience or help.

Burns said the lanyard could be used by anyone with a hidden disability, such as autism, multiple sclerosis, COPD, dementia and hearing loss.
