For the Parent Who Just Heard Autism | New Diagnosis Support Card

The card to hand a parent on diagnosis day, when everyone else is handing them pamphlets.

Front: Right now you don't need more information. You need to know you're going to be okay.

Watercolor rainbow infinity, the symbol the autistic community chose for itself, with sunflowers growing from its loop.

Inside message:
Take a breath. Close the browser tabs. Step away from the research. Your child is the same beautiful soul they were yesterday. You don't need to become an expert overnight, and you don't need to find a “cure” for someone who isn't broken.
Just take it minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. You and your child are going to be okay. More than okay, even if you can't believe that yet.
Breathe. Tomorrow will come, and you'll both still be here, together, figuring it out as you go.
From one parent who's been where you are.
