What if you made some nice business cards that said something like "Yo diggidy dog, I got AUTISM (bolded in all caps with sparkles) and I'm feeling a little over stimulated (more sparkle), and I don't mean to be rude but could you flip the card over? (Now the rest of this is on the back) give me some space (space is underlined and in light blue) (with more sparkles.
I will make a moc up tomorrow
That sounds like a fun idea. I'd love to see it.
Its a work in progress right now, I swear I haven't forgotten about it
Take your time. :-)
I swear I haven't forgot but I can't decide on a background and I can't really get the sparkles right, and last but definetly not least I still am not sure if I really have autism, I dont really know if I should be interacting with the autism community because I dont know if I'm even apart and that seems to be stifling progress.
You shouldn't doubt yourself.
I took my time, I really couldn't decide on a background, then I really couldn't get it to look the way I wanted, then I couldn't get the sparkles to look good. But I basically just gave up but didn't want to leave you hanging so here is the best I could come up with, sorry that it's not really what I originally promised. You could probably print these out and tape/glue them together, or print them with a printer that supports printing on both sides, or you could print them on card stock if you're really feeling creative.
