I have conflicted feelings about autism cards... but in a way I get the point, when being overwhelmed and is hard to communicate, it can be helpful to hand out a card with some information... I have seeing a lot of bad designs on those... but still I understand the idea.
However this is not the intended use of the card today... instead this card is suppose to be handed around by the parent, care taker or friend of an autistic person having a "tantrum"
So if at any point you feel overwhelmed and the so, then your parent can now just go around handing this down to strangers, because this suppose to help somehow.
Intentions aside, lest look at the design of this thing.
Front side: A gradient blue background, with random puzzle pieces in very ugly colors, and on top of everything in a bad font that have poor contrast with all the noise on the background we find the wording "Autism Awareness"... the whole playful and colorful design really tells me something like: the tantrum is a party and you are invited to join in... and honestly, just looking at this design I am about to have my own melt down.
Back Side: Lest say you was able to survive the bad circus design of the front of the card... they made sure you will not survive the back of it... first thing that catch your eyes is more of this puzzle piece, this time they didn't even bother to make the pieces fit together, they just dump some random puzzle pieces in a pile, and call it autism. But this should give you the clue that the party is over, and is time to get real, so they just dump a big paragraph of copy and hope it takes you long enough for you to be distracted reading this thing that by the time you are done the "tantrum" should be over.
At least this answer a very important question: if you are a parent of a kid with autism and they have a meltdown "what should you do to help them?" well... just go around the kid handing this cards to strangers... that would be $40 for a 100 cards, Thank you for your business.
