The Autism Alert card

Developed in consultation with adults with autism and parents, our Autism Alert card can be carried by a person with autism and used in difficult situations, where they may find communication difficult.

The Autism Alert card is designed to tell people about the condition, and asks them to show respect and tolerance. The card comprises a wallet which contains a leaflet of key facts about autism, and a credit-card style insert where people can write emergency contact details. 

You can order the Autism Alert card for £2.50 plus postage and packing from our online shop: follow the link at the bottom of this page.
