Having medical information that's easily accessible to first responders is SO IMPORTANT to those with autism, as well as other medication conditions like epilepsy - which is found in more than 35% of those with autism. Equally important is for Mom or Dad to have medical jewelry on their own body, in case they become incapacitated during an accident with their child in the back seat, who may be unable to communicate with those who will need information during such a time. This interview with Lauren's Hope will give you tons of valuable information on this subject.
