The Amazing Autistic Brain Cards

This deck of cards is a resource to help professionals, parents and anyone working with autistic young people to have discussions about an autism diagnosis in a personalized, positive and meaningful way.

The beautifully designed cards each show a strength – such as being inquisitive or honest – or a challenge – such as sensory difficulties or understanding emotions. The pack also includes reusable blank cards which can be personalized.

The accompanying booklet provides approaches and strategies developed by Dr. Dura-Vila in her clinical practice. She also shares her personal (and occasionally humorous) experiences, including tips for discussing an autism diagnosis. These accounts within inspire readers to give their best to any young person when sharing an autism diagnosis, and in the conversations that follow.
