My new Autism Spectrum Disorder and mental health emergency card

I have a medical bracelet (that I often forget to wear :rolleyes:) and my service dog has patches on her vest that specify that I have a medical condition (aside from autism) and we cannot be separated in an emergency.
 
Currently while my immune system is poor, due to medication I am having, I have a card from the hospital in case I need antibiotics right away, hope it's not going to be needed but its in my bag always. These are useful things.

I mentioned high autistic traits to the hospital, but not sure how useful that was. Maybe a bit, to some who understood what that could be, but we are so widely varied I may need to try to be more specific in some ways, or else assumptions are made based on how much or how little the person who I tell knows, though I guess I won't for the hospital now, as I should be done with them by mid August except for aftercare monitoring.
