    It shouldn’t be on the person with a disability to teach a police officer how to deal with their disability.

    They’re not though? It just make it easier for the e.g. police to know that there is a disability so they can act according to it with the training they’ve already received.

        Because NDs respond so well to cookie-cutter training generally made for interaction with NTs…

        Knowing up front that your regular training will/might need some adaption would be a benefit.

          My point is that knowing that your training is incomplete and needs to be supplemented with compassion, patience and empathy could also be a part of training. If they have training that says “look for this card”, it could just as easily be retooled to say “look for these symptoms”.

            A simple blue card is just infinitely easier to identify than behavior that people are either consciously or subconsciously masking.
