How to share an autism passport safely
Simple privacy habits for sharing an autism passport with school, healthcare, and carers.
An autism passport only helps if the right people can see it. It should also stay private by default. Share with purpose, not by habit.
Decide what each person needs. A teacher may need classroom strategies. A clinician may need communication and sensory notes. An emergency card may need only the essentials.
Prefer time-limited sharing when you can. Send a controlled link directly to the intended recipient instead of emailing a full document to large groups. Revoke the link when a placement, appointment, or carer arrangement ends.
Tell the person named in the passport, where appropriate, what is being shared and why. Keep the content accurate, kind, and free of unnecessary medical detail.
Autismy is designed around this: private by default, with sharing views you preview and links you can expire or revoke.
