Hopefully, they will.

I think many do - older people are the biggest group to hold a Blue Badge.

I agree with the last couple of posts. The Autistic that get a bluebage will probably be on the old DLA. Under PIP high rate mobility component is divided into two sections 1. moving around (meaning unable to walk) and 2. Planning and following journeys (meaning needs assistance to safely get around). Autistic can get high rate mobility element of PIP to pay for assistance to safely get around but not automatically entitled to a bluebadge. You might be able to get it by applying for bluebadge to assess you for your medical needs. Good luck.

Would you mind awfully referring to these individuals as "autistic (or Autistic) people" rather than "the Autistic"? It's a really horrible label.

Thank you.

I completely agree, Tigsteroonie.

Not a problem, quote re-worded without the word the. I don't want to offend your diagnoses with a label you don't like, how everyone defines themselves is very personal and I respect that.
