2025年10月1日,马里兰州在驾驶执照,身份证和摩托车许可证上推出了新的可选蝶符号,以帮助识别有发展或智力障碍等隐藏残疾的个人. On October 1, 2025, Maryland launched a new optional butterfly symbol on driver’s licenses, ID cards, and moped permits to help identify individuals with hidden disabilities like developmental or intellectual conditions. 该符号的灵感来自马里兰州一名高功能自闭症患者,旨在协助第一反应者和其他人认识可能需要通信支持或住宿的人。 The symbol, inspired by a Marylander with high-functioning autism, aims to assist first responders and others in recognizing people who may need communication support or accommodations. 无需提供任何费用, 没有任何文件需要, 可以在网上, 通过报表台, 或在24个MVA分支机构中的任何一个亲自添加或删除. Available at no cost, the designation requires no documentation and can be added or removed online, via kiosks, or in person at any of the 24 MVA branches. 国家领导人和倡导者赞扬了这一举动,认为这是朝着加强包容性和安全迈出的一步。 State leaders and advocates praised the move as a step toward greater inclusivity and safety.
