Why it works

  • Low-demand, kind wording, with no "shoulds"
  • Tick boxes and prompts, so there's less to write
  • The same layout on every page, so you always know where to look
  • Set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a font designed to be easy to read

Who it's for

  • Autistic adults, for themselves
  • Parents & carers (fill it in together with kids or teens)
  • Teachers, SENCOs & teaching assistants
  • Therapists, OTs & coaches

How to use it

Print at home, laminate and use with a dry-wipe pen, or open in GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app and write on it with a stylus. This is a digital download, so nothing is posted to you.

Also in the NeuroMade app

These pages are also interactive tools in the free NeuroMade app: Needs & Boundaries Cards, Energy & Masking Tracker, Shutdown & Meltdown Recovery.
