Children and adults living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may have difficulty communicating if they are lost or in an emergency. If you are one of them, MedicAlert speaks for you when you can't. Your medical ID jewellery will alert people to your most vital information and it also allows access to your full medical record that contains all details on your medical conditions, allergies, medications you may need and next-of-kin contact details. As a MedicAlert member, you can nominate one or more advocates to help you set up and manage your medical record.

Autism is much more common than most people think. There are around 700,000 autistic people in the UK - more than 1 in 1001. It is not an illness or a disease. All autistic people share certain challenges, but being autistic will affect them in different ways. Some of them say the world feels overwhelming and this can cause them considerable anxiety. Some autistic people also have learning disabilities, mental health issues or other medical conditions2, meaning there are different levels of support needed. Many people struggle with social and communication difficulties. With the right sort of support, all can be helped to live a more fulfilling life of their own choosing3. Being a member of MedicAlert will help you take control of your life and offer both you and your family valuable peace of mind by keeping you safe in an emergency.
One of our younger members, who is autistic, had a habit of removing his medical ID bracelet. Read the story to find our MedicAlert's specific solution for this specific requirement.
