Questions parents ask
Why does my autistic child need a medicine safety card?
The people who care for your child when you are not there — grandparents, house help, school teacher, weekend babysitter — should never have to guess dose or timing. One clear card in the same place every time removes that risk. It also gives your child a voice in medical settings where they cannot yet advocate for themselves.
Where should I keep the card?
Two copies. One on the fridge, where the whole family sees it. One inside the school bag or in your child's pouch, for any emergency outside home. Both should be updated whenever a doctor changes anything.
Should I also list therapies and supplements?
Yes — anything a doctor needs to know before prescribing something new. That includes vitamins, ayurvedic medicines, and any dietary restrictions. A doctor deciding an emergency dose needs the full picture.
