Thames Valley Autism Alert Card
The aim of the Thames Valley Autism Alert Card scheme is to provide a simple way for autistic children, young people and adults, or a parent or carer, to quickly and easily explain their condition to others, giving cardholders more confidence to go out and about.
Autism Berkshire issues the Alert Card free of charge to anyone with a diagnosis of autism in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes.
The card is intended to be shown if the cardholder finds themselves in a situation where they need to indicate they are autistic, need support or cannot easily explain their behaviour to people around them or to the emergency services.
Along with simple advice about autism spectrum conditions, the card gives the cardholder’s name and details of two emergency contacts, such as parents or carers, so that those shown the card understand they are dealing with someone who is autistic and can find out what they can do to help them.
Applications can be made using the online form on the Autism Berkshire website - you will be asked to state where and when the autism diagnosis was given.
If you have any difficulties completing the form, email contact@autismberkshire.org.uk or call 01189 594 594 (option 1) and leave a message.
