I’ve seen it happen to others and I got my blue badge based on anxiety and autism which work hand in hand. I’m ok with driving locally but when going somewhere new if access to parking isn’t onsite and I need to find a space elsewhere, it can cause distress and lead to me turning around and going home or not making the journey at all. Having that backup helps me feel a bit more confident. I can get by without the badge but having it opens the world up to me.
