\ud83d\udd52 When did it start?<\/h3>\r\n

Priority service in Brazil has existed since Law No. 10,048\/2000<\/strong>, which guarantees priority for the elderly, pregnant women, people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, it was only in 2012<\/strong>, with the Berenice Piana Law (Law No. 12,764\/12)<\/strong>, that the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)<\/strong> became officially recognized as a disability, giving people with autism the right to preferential queues throughout the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\n Access the Berenice Piana Law\r\n <\/a>\r\n\r\n

Finally, in July 2023<\/strong>, the Federal Law 14.626\/23<\/strong> was sanctioned. This legislation reinforces the right of autistic people to priority care throughout Brazil<\/strong>, standardizing the use of the symbol and raising awareness on the topic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The use of this symbol gained traction especially in the 1990s and 2000s in awareness campaigns, although the jigsaw puzzle as a visual representation of autism has existed since 1963.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n \ud83d\udd17 Official Reference: The puzzle piece symbol was created by \r\n \r\n National Autistic Society of the United Kingdom\r\n <\/a> \r\n in 1963, as the first logo to represent autism.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
