One way would be to scan the page and save it as a pdf that could be made available for download on a web site.

I love what you did, there. You might consider putting some of those images on t-shirts at Cafepress, or Zazzle, or something. I would buy a t-shirt with “I don’t do eye contact ” printed on its front, assuming I had any spare money.

Yes, a great many non-disabled, non-autistic people seem to have some trouble with “Theory of Mind”. How strange.

We went to Pizza Hut and he proudly ordered the pizza HE wanted. Then the waitress turned to me and asked, “Now what do you really want for me to get him?” I asked my student if he wanted to stay. He said “no”, so we left.

I could try to make one. What would you want from it in terms of interface?

“sometimes people can need the exact same accommodation even if the reasons for needing it may be completely different.” I am currently attempting to get my school’s DSS to allow me to provisional usage of one of the school libraries’ speech-to-text machines for my ADHD, because I often have trouble figuring out what I want to write, and once I know I often say it out loud instead of writing it, and then promptly forget what I just said. I was surprised when the DSS staff had trouble understanding why someone who COULD write, and in some situations can write perfectly well without a speech-to-text machine, would ever need one.

Perhaps you could try a method that creates visual or written cues like the boards, but is smaller and easier to hide? Flash cards are fairly small and unobtrusive, and it might be able to use them subtly without notice. As an NT, I don’t think I’ve experienced the same conditioning to see flashcards as “disabled and broken” as I have a board. If you are willing to tell a lie, you could make cards that suggest you are not talking because of physical discomfort (ex: “my throat hurts”, “my tooth aches”, or “I have a headache”).
