Round sticker in the top corner of every typed homework sheet

Before an MRI, a QR code slipped into the appointment folder tells the radiographer how to announce each sound, without the autistic person having to explain it themselves.

Reader
Radiographer
QR location
Card slipped into the appointment folder, shown at the imaging department reception

Before the exam, the radiographer knows that a sudden noise from the machine can cause a violent startle, and that explaining each step quietly, once, is enough to avoid a movement that would require redoing the entire sequence.
