"I see so much potential for this card, especially for people with non-visible disabilities such as autism who are still widely misunderstood. There have been many times I have gotten into an Uber or on Public Transport after a long day of work as an autism advocate and access consultant only to find myself being forced to explain my disability. This card means that in future, I will have the ability to non-verbally communicate my access accommodations to the driver or customer service staff so that I can arrive home safely and with minimal sensory overload. The National Assistance Card is a game changer for Australians with a disability. If you are looking for a discreet way to notify people of your disability, I would recommend you give the National Assistance Card a try."
