Color-coded cards for shutdown days

During sensory overloads or autistic shutdowns, speech can be lost temporarily. We use a keychain of three cards: Green (I'm okay, just resting), Yellow (I need quiet, please don't ask me questions), and Red (I am overwhelmed, I need my safe space now). They can just hand me the card without forcing words out.
