Autism Spectrum Disorder or Needs Accommodation

The following has been provided by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles:

Eligible Louisiana residents and their guardians can now request an “Autism Spectrum Disorder” or a “Needs Accommodation” indicator for their vehicle at no cost. These decals, which are placed on the rear window of a vehicle, indicate to law enforcement officers that a person in the vehicle may have Autism Spectrum Disorder or a mental, physical, or developmental disability. These indicators are also placed on the vehicle record and vehicle registration.

Proper documentation is necessary to acquire and replace a decal. One of the following is required to obtain an Autism Spectrum Disorder decal or a Needs Accommodation decal:

A statement from a qualified medical or mental health professional licensed in Louisiana or any other state or territory of the United States verifying the applicant’s diagnosis.

If the applicant possesses a current Louisiana driver’s license or identification card with the Autism or Needs Accommodation indicator, no other documentation is required.
