ROCHESTER, N.Y. — New York State Police have launched a new program aimed at helping both law enforcement and people with autism during public interactions.
The “Autism Awareness – Visor Card Program,” will help troopers communicate and reduce confusion or fear during interactions. Each patrol car will have a card, which has simple visual icons that can be used to communicate as needed.
According to the state police website, one in every forty-five adults in the U.S. have autism. They say people with autism might face different challenges during interactions with law enforcement due to communication differences, sensory sensitivities, and difficulties with social interaction.
State police say they created this program to “support these encounters and improve communication.” People can download the card here and print it out to use.
