New Jersey residents with autism can put diagnosis on license, ID

New Jersey is rolling out a program that allows residents with autism or communication disorders to indicate their diagnosis on their driver’s license or state-issued ID. The new initiative is designed to help law enforcement officers better understand and assist individuals.

The designation will appear as a “5” in the restrictions section of the license or ID.

A pink card will also be issued to those approved for the program, explaining the individual’s disorder.
