Download Free PDFAbout this resource
The Meet Sheet is a one-page document that explains an autistic person's communication style, preferences, and needs to someone they are meeting for the first time — such as a new doctor, teacher, employer, or support worker. It replaces the need to explain the same things repeatedly in every new relationship.
Who this is for
Autistic people who regularly meet new professionals or support workers and want to communicate their needs clearly without having to repeat themselves each time.
What it contains
- Fill-in fields for name, preferred communication style, sensory sensitivities, and support needs
- Space to describe what helps and what doesn't in interactions
- A section for emergency contact information
- Plain-language format designed to be read quickly by a professional
How to use it
- Download and print the sheet
- Fill in the fields that apply to you — leave blank anything that doesn't
- Bring a copy to new appointments, meetings, or first days
- You can also share it digitally before a meeting so the other person can prepare
Tips
- Keep a few printed copies ready so you don't have to fill it in each time
- Update it whenever your needs or preferences change
- You can share it with a trusted person who can hand it over on your behalf if needed
- It is fine to share only the parts that are relevant to a particular context
