Create a national pass for people with diagnosed hidden disabilities

Petition Details

The Government should create a national scheme that provides a free card to people with a diagnosed hidden disability (such as autism or cognitive impairment), so this can be presented to help people understand that they have a hidden disability.

Additional Information

Currently neuro-divergent people are often perceived to be under the influence, or assumed to be acting suspiciously. People who are neuro-divergent may also misunderstand directions from police officers or other people in authority, and can be at a greater risk of being injured or taken into custody.

Currently lanyards and cards are available, but not through a Government scheme. We believe an official Government scheme could help ensure better treatment for people with hidden disabilities.
