A visit story, a one-page sheet for the care team, and a waiting plan. Three pages, one folder.
For: Parents, autistic adults, carers · Free to print, copy and share · No sign-up
Tell them the sequence in advance, hand the team one page about how to communicate with them, and plan the waiting time specifically. Waiting and unexpected touch cause more distress than the procedure itself, so those are the two things worth preparing for.

A printed sheet is fixed. It can't change when the routine changes, it doesn't know the person using it, and it can't put anything in writing for a school or clinic.
Nova keeps this information in one place, extracts the details from documents your clinician gives you, and produces a handover sheet whenever you need one.
Nova is a support companion for autistic people, families and the professionals who help them. Every printed sheet carries a scannable code and this short link: portal.novaautism.com/s/hospital-visit-kit

Two big boxes: what happens first, what happens after. The simplest transition support there is.
Work through each sense and mark what soothes, what overwhelms, and what's still unclear.
A blank, first-person story frame for a new place, a change, or something that keeps going wrong.
This sheet is a practical support, not medical, legal, or diagnostic advice.
