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. |

... 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. |
