    LISTING SPEC COMPLETE

    ASSET NEEDEDtitle, price, page and copy are final. the 36 card files are still in production, so this listing stays unpublished until they exist.

    DESCRIPTION

    you said the thing accurately and it landed as rude. you said you were fine and it landed as cold. the gap between what you said and what got heard is where most of the damage happens.

    36 double-sided cards. the front is the line as it gets received. the back is the translation, written plainly enough to hand to a partner, a manager, a parent or a clinician.

    it is not a script to make you more palatable. it is a translation layer so you stop having to run the interpretation yourself, out loud, while already tired.

    WHAT IS INSIDE

    • 36 double-sided cards, 300 DPI print PDF, aligned for duplex printing
    • single-sided PDF for printers that cannot duplex
    • phone screen versions of every card
    • cut guide and a one-page how to use it sheet

    DELIVERY

    instant download. the files land on the order confirmation page and in your email the second payment clears. nothing ships, nothing arrives late, nothing needs an app.

    WHAT THIS IS NOT

    these are self-organization and communication tools, not medical or psychological treatment. they do not diagnose anything, they do not replace care from your own clinicians, and nothing in them tells you what to take or how much.

    questions

    how is this different from the shutdown cards?

    shutdown cards are for when speech is gone. these are for when speech is working and still getting misread.

    who reads the back?

    whoever misheard you. partners, family, managers, clinicians.

    is it autism specific?

    it is written from an autistic and ADHD frame, and it works for anyone whose plain speech reads as blunt.

    do i need a printer?

    no. every file comes in a print version and a screen version. the screen versions are built for a phone or a tablet.

    what format are the files?

    PDF for everything printable, PNG for the phone screens. no proprietary formats, no editor required.

    can i print it at a print shop?

    yes. the print PDFs are 300 DPI with margins that survive a home printer or a counter print.

    is this a subscription?

    no. one payment, files are yours, re-download from your email link.

    refunds?

    digital files cannot be returned, so there are no refunds after download. every listing shows exactly what is inside before you buy.
