🏛️ Government
More than 300 Oklahomans have added a new autism designation to their driver’s licenses or IDs to help ease interactions with law enforcement.
The option, rolled out by Service Oklahoma after Gov. Stitt signed the law in November 2024, remains voluntary and keeps personal information private.

Dr. Tom Hutto from Ascension St. John explained that cyclosporiasis, a foodborne parasite found in leafy greens and raspberries, causes prolonged diarrhea, cramps, and weight loss, while the Oklahoma State Department of Health reported 56 cases and 6 hospitalizations and advised that cooking produce will kill the parasite.
