Along with "restrictions" like poor vision. I'm blind as a bat without my contacts, so I'm able to answer with a clear conscience when an officer asked me if I had my lenses with me. Never start the day without them! Or so it is in my state, I don't see many other states' licenses.<br /><br />That is odd they're putting it directly on the license. I know they'd talked about making wallet-sized cards in some states so people could hand them to an officer at traffic stops and stuff so the officer wouldn't over-react if the individual wasn't as chatty as the officer wanted or shied away excessively from the flashlight and strobes. Whichever states that were discussing those cards were supposed to also be trying to train their officers a little better on how to read autistics so if they were presented with that card adjust their behaviour. (Not shine a light in their eyes? I dunno.) New Hampshire might have an entirely different reason for doing it, but until I can dig up an article on their reasoning I'm going to assume for now they're trying to keep autistics from getting locked up for being "uncooperative". I certainly hope that's the case anyway.<br /><br />It seems it'd still depend a bit on the individual's honesty when getting their license. The DMV isn't connected to my medical records, so I told them of my own free will that I can't see worth beans. Perhaps in that way it is still optional for those who wish to have their diagnoses on their license? Autism is still considered pathological, and thus, medical. If you pass as normal, they never have a reason to demand your medical records.Ashe Skylerhttp://art.raven-wing.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227616579829607218.post-22122800233131092692015-04-28T14:15:54.182-07:002015-04-28T14:15:54.182-07:00Thank YOU - so much!
