Has Anyone Ever Used An Autism Awareness Card?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Washington, DC

If so, what happened? My son's doctor showed me an autism awareness card. It was about the size of a business card and described autism. She said some parents carry them to give strangers who question them about their child on the spectrum.

I am thinking about getting them myself!! I think it is a more discrete way to let people know that their behavior is related to autism not poor parenting skills or"spoiled rotten kids . I get tired of other people judging, they have no clue, but then again neither did I before I had Katelynn, because Kimberly has always been so well behaved.

I've never had issues with other parents. Most of the time I get a knowing nod when I say he's autistic when I feel its appropriate to give that much information. But half the time when. They ask about it more they have a preconcieved notion or another friend and I have to explain it presents differently for everyone.
