Not a clue, sorry. Did a bit of searching and couldn't find anything.

Sorry to say that regardless of signs, people will still stare and tut... Rude people don't read informative signs. It's much too much like using their common sense, and god knows rude people often have none! Hmm Unfortunately, we've had to develop a bit of a thick skin on this. I know some people have their children wearing shirts or have cards that say something about special needs or autism, but it makes me cross to think that we should be made to feel that we need to justify our child's behaviour in some way. I don't know a clear answer to it, really. I vary between a simple "can I help you with something?" when I notice someone staring to a full blown "oh for the love of god, he's got special needs! Move along, nothing to see here!" Angry Grin All depends on the day and how frustrated I am at the moment. Blush

But if you find anything interesting on it, please let us all know. I'm sure there are others here looking as well. Best of luck.

I looked a while ago for dd2 but couldn't find any- however dd1 who has ADHD often quite loudly tells the rude old biddys to stop staring at her special sister or another favourite she says is "unless your going to help stop staring". Maybe we all just need an ADHD child to put the world to rights! Lol

Ebay do some thing like in car signs that could be adapted to go on a pram. this company do all sorts of sn signs, maybe you could ask them if they could make one

chundle- you made me Smile, dd1 (AS) will often tell people that dd2 (Asd) wont talk because she has Autism, will have to teach her the 'unless your going to help stop stairing' Grin.

We use badges which we get from e-bay and have had positive feedback from strangers.

Could you maybe make your own on the computer and laminate them? Laminators not that costly if you hunt about for them and useful for all sorts of other reasons too.

you could try contacting this lot, they seem quite flexible about what they do.

You could try vistaprint, they do magnetic signs for car doors, plus other signs.
