Description

The listing, Autism Awareness Handout Cards (Pack of 10) has ended.

Too often parents are faced with struggling moments with their children with autism. Sometimes those moments could be in the grocery store, post office, or when around friends and family members. These cards provide you a voice. They say what is often on your mind but too hard to say at the moment. Just hand out the card when you feel as if someone could benefit from understanding a little bit more about autism.

FRONT OF CARD: "I'm sorry if my child has disrupted your day. My child has autism and he can be a handful sometimes, but he is a blessing to my family! Autism is prevalent in around 1 and 110 children. My child may have social, communication, or behavior delays that you may have just experienced. While my child struggles sometimes in social situations, my child is also a very talented and gifted individual. When you have a chance, please take a moment to learn more about Autism and other pervasive developmental disorders. Thank you for letting me share this important information with you!".

BACK OF CARD: Autism is a general term to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders knows as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). Today it is estimated that 1 in every 110 children is diagnosed with Autism, making it more common that childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. An estimated 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide are affected by autism.

Questions & Comments

I am right there with you on this one. At times I feel like I have to carry around a sign instead of a card.

Oh how awesome is this - My son was just diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, And this would be such an awesome thing to hand to those people that like to stare when he has a "melt-down" in the store, doctors office, etc - or when he does one of his random high pitched squeals.

THANK YOU for listing these and THANK YOU for doing your part in spreading Autism Awareness.

Thank you for this auction. people need to understand that parents and grandparents are not bad people but people with a child that needs help. very few children with autism get much help, my granson being one of them , due to the lack of funds..
he also has asperger's. anyway, thank you for enlightening people.
