General Condition Guidance
Autism & Communication Support Emergency Guide
This person may communicate differently or not at all verbally. Reduce sensory input, use simple language, allow extra time, and look for communication instructions. Call 911 if there is immediate danger, severe injury, or a medical emergency.
Emergency Guidance

- There is immediate physical danger to the person or others
- They have a severe injury or bleeding
- They are having difficulty breathing

Do Not:
- Do not assume non-verbal means unable to understand
- Do not use complex or figurative language
- Do not crowd the person or surround them with people
- Do not insist on eye contact or physical touch
- Do not rush or pressure them to respond quickly
After the Immediate Situation
- Allow the person time to regulate after the situation
- Provide a quiet, low-stimulation environment
