The National Autism Association has developed an emergency profile sheet that provides information about a child with autism, including medical needs, a physical description, allergies, likes/dislikes, what to look for with escalation, and ways to communicate. They recommend that parents share this with family, friends, school personnel, anyone who has contact with their child.
