The one I dislike the most is the silent "she must be drunk or on drugs."

I fear the day will come when some responsible citizen who includes these words after the ones I quoted above..."I think I will watch and see it she is driving a car"...and a few minutes after I drive away a cop is pulling me over.

I think it is time for the millions of us to have what the autism community has. We carry these and hand them to people when we feel the need...like when my grandson is having a sensitivity tantrum (for lack of a more appropriate word).

It is his way of telling us that we missed seeing something in he store he wanted to see, but didn't know how to tell us...how long would it take for you to figure this one out...I have gotten very good at this guessing game. Or it is because the lights are too bright in the store, or the noise is to over stimulating, or there may be too many people around, or the colors are not right...could be any stimulation issue...another guessing game.

So to get to my point. The autism community has cards.

The reference I use to write the words below is third down on the right on this webpage http://www.autismcards.com/autism-cards.html
I know of these card, as my youngest grandson is autistic. Words are off the top of my head at the moment, and I am sure they can be improved upon.

Parkinson's Awareness
You've just had an encounter with someone who has Parkinson's disease
My behavior may seem puzzling to you.
My physical appearance may have been puzzling to you.
This behavior and/or physical appearance might appear inappropriate to you, but it's the best I can do for the moment.
Please understand that when when my medication is not working well, I am not only puzzling to you, but I am puzzling to myself. When my body is stress, like when I am medically sick, my medication(s) doesn't work correctly.

The back of the card would like information similar to the back of the autism card.

I will email a few organization about sponsoring the printing of such card, for purchase by PWPs. I think the time is right for these.

The informational cards that are available today just aren't enough.
They don't address the physical appearance...only basic information about PD and listing medications.
We are no longer an elderly population that rarely leave the house.

We are an active population, some with jobs and families to raise.
