Yer actual photo ID Autistic Licence card, available in a variety of bogus names.
Simply produce this when caught in some heinous public act.
It's kind of needed.

Pun or no pun, there was an opportunity for a viable idea here. Autistic individuals are victimized far more often than non-autistic individuals, sometimes from everyone around them including law enforcement. |
|
|
An authentic certificate of just where a person is on the autism spectrum might go a long way towards smoothing out potential misunderstandings. |
|
|
It's open to abuse sure, but so is handicapped parking tags. Haters always gonna hate... |
|
|
The problem mostly arises with the police finding the certificate on the recently deceased. |

//Wouldn't the same go for court appearances ? |
|
|
Erm, I was thinking, when caught doing something...questionable..with a two s*** g****s and a piece of liver in a public place (as we all must have been at one time or another), simply whip out the licence and avoid those pesky court appearances. |

I will draw your attention to Exhibit A (linky) "naked man released from washing machine by police". If only he had kept the AL card around his neck on the lanyard provided... |

How do you know the man in the article was autistic? Am I
missing a joke about the similarity of spelling between
"autistic" and "Austrailian"? |
|
|
// "autistic" and "Austrailian"? // |
|
|
One has extreme difficulty relating to and communicating with other
human beings to the point of near-total social isolation, and the other
is a medical condition. |

{indignantly stands to attention and sings a rousing chorus of the patriotic paean "fifty million blowflies can't be wrong"} |

... back on topic, I think this idea tackles the problem from the wrong end. A better solution would be not to let autistic people get away with more, but to let histrionic people get away with less. |
