Special Autism Awareness Plates Now Available in Virginia

May 3, 2002

From the May 2002 ASA-NV Easel Newsletter:

After previously unsuccessful attempts to have an " Unlocking Autism " license

plate made available to drivers in Virginia, success arrived this year! In

April (how appropriately timed!), the Virginia Legislature passed and

Governor Warner signed a bill adding this awareness plate to the VA DMV

roster. The plate design is being finalized now and, once 250 requests have

been received at DMV offices around the state, printing will begin. Now,

granted, few things are as tedious as a visit to the DMV, but it's a small

price to pay for the extra visibility these plates will bring. So, be sure to

head down to your local DMV and get registered for some new license plates!

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice,

but in practice, there is.
