AutismCards

One of the struggles of having an autistic child is that autism is a neurological
disorder, many of the children look like a typical child. Unlike Cerebal Palsy or
Down Syndrome, there are really no physical characteristics. That being the
case, when many of our children have behavioral problems, (in public)
many people may rush to judgement without actually realizing that there may be a problem. If you feel you have to explain your child's behavior
but rather not do it verbally there are cards available that can be handed out.

Below are some samples of what the cards say. You can either purchase
these cards or make them yourself. I've provided links in case you prefer purchasing them.
