Autism: Face Cards

Now imagine your autistic you can’t show your emotions as you have no real concept of what these emotions/feelings mean how do you let people know how you are feeling. Here is where Face-cards from dunedin multimedia can help . Dunedin Multimedia was founded in 1995. Over the years they have produced software and print resources under their own imprint, and for companies, government and not-for-profit organisations, for schools, and for families.

About Face Cards

These are great they are set of face cards similar to a credit card size, with pictures of faces on each side one has a positive feeling and one a negative feeling. What I like about these cards they are very easy to use, they come in their own handy plastic container so could be easily carried around. Also you have the choice of male or female faces and the eyes are very neutral looking,
I used the Face cards for my son and daughter who are both autistic. They have been great as when I ask them how they feel they show me the relevant card. This is great in social situations when they get overwhelmed they can just show me how they feel and I can try and adjust the situation as needed. Also these would be good for people with little or no communication it takes all the guess work out of trying to find out how they are feeling.
The cards are available in male/female faces with a choice of 6 faces. All cards are easily cleaned as they can just be wiped with a damp cloth if they get dirty.
