The Autism NI autism card can provide reassurance in everyday interactions by helping individuals communicate that they are autistic and may require additional understanding, patience or support.
Whether in public places, while travelling, accessing services or during unexpected situations, an autism card can help make communication easier and reduce anxiety for autistic people and their families.
Our autism card will only be issued to adults and children with an autism diagnosis. The card can also inform others of an appropriate support contact who can be contacted if necessary. The support contact should be someone who knows the child or adult well. Any information retained by Autism NI is managed with each individual's informed consent and can be shared where appropriate.
The autism card is one of Autism NI's most widely recognised support resources, helping autistic people feel more confident and understood in their daily lives. If you have an autism diagnosis and would like to apply for an autism card, download the registration form below and apply today.
