I don't understand what the problem is. It's optional, so if you have concerns you can not participate. There's no central registry, so it's not like they're building a list of people. Heck, you could be non autistic and participate just to get officers that deal with you a bit more carefully. Why precisely is the feedback here so negative?

    Have you completely missed the ranting from Brainworm Kennedy about wanting to put autistic people in concentration camps?

    Maybe because it seems crazy to anyone not born in the US that you would need a special card as an autistic person, just so they don't "accidentally" shoot you to death during a traffic stop.

    How's that different from the non autistics getting shot during traffic stops? Far as I can see the only thing that helps is being white.

    So therefore, the problem isn't ASD folks not being easily identified -- the problem is well funded, trigger happy, murderous cops roaming around with legal impunity.
