This ‘No for a reason’ card says:
"When I say no, it’s because I’ve considered the options and consequences.
Please respect my decision. If you don’t understand it, there may be factors you aren’t fully aware of." It has a stickman holding old fashioned hanging scales. One side labeled 'benefit' with a small green sack in. The other side labeled 'cost' - with a much larger purple sack, and words: increased symptoms, worsened health, inability to do other tasks.
With hidden disabilities, people can often try to ‘encourage’ us by refusing to take no for an answer – often, without realising it, they undermine important self management decisions. This card provides a way to help other people to understand that we we say no for a reason – it’s not a random fear-based decision, but an important, considered choice that will support our health management.
