Under the Blue Envelope Program, a specially marked envelope holds the documents needed in a traffic stop, discreetly telling law enforcement that the person deals with communication differences or behavioral disorders. Neurodivergent applies to those with autism, Tourette syndrome, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.
