Autism Alert Card

I_am_autistic_card_2024 (printable)

Many members of the public don’t understand autism and how things they take for granted might cause difficulties for people on the spectrum. This card is a great way for you to let them know you are autistic and that you may need some extra time or help in certain situations. We are happy to print out a card for you to use. Just contact the school office. For more support follow the link https://www.autism.org.uk/
