Make your card.
Your card tells a workplace, school or service what your brain needs. It is yours.
We say it once.
We take it with us.
Most of us have explained ourselves again and again: to every new manager, every teacher, every service. Each time we start from nothing. The card ends that.
What it says
What helps you. What gets in the way.
That is the whole card. It never asks for a diagnosis, and nobody needs one to make a card, share it or be counted.
To help you start, think about how you communicate, the space around you, meetings, and how you like to get feedback.
Make it your way.
Every way of communicating counts the same. The card grows out of the communication cards many non speaking autistic people use every day.

Who sees it
Private until you share it.
You choose who sees your card. When you name an organisation on the Register, it goes to that organisation's named contact and nobody else. We never read it for marketing, and we never publish anything about you.
When you change job or school, it comes with you.
Once a year
Did you get what you asked for?
One question, once a year. Your answer is counted with everyone else's and never shown with your name. It tells each organisation whether it kept its promise, and it decides what we ask for next.
Your organisation has not signed?
The card still works. Invite your workplace, school or service. An anonymous invitation waits until enough of us in the same organisation have asked, so nobody can tell who started it.
With your name
A ready invitation to HR or a manager, with your card attached.
Anonymously, through us
We send it for you, and your name is never shared.
Hand it over yourself
Download it and give it to someone in person.
Start with your card.
Sign in once, and it is yours from then on.
You never need an account to read the campaign, download the toolkit or find an event.
