There's a new tool created by the Pennsylvania State Police for individuals with autism to enhance interactions with law enforcement officers. The cards, which include a person’s name, contact information and emergency contacts, state that the cardholder has autism and urge officers to be patient and direct in their interactions.

Lieutenant Adam Reed with the Pennsylvania State Police and Mark Davis, President and CEO of Pennsylvania Advocacy and Resources for Autism and Intellectual Disability joined The Spark to offer how the new informational cards will impact those living with autism. Listen to the podcast to hear the conversation.
