Just got done with my
DAS interview and was approved.
I’m an autistic adult with low support needs who only travels with friends. I’m also an AP holder. I do have another condition that is exacerbated by my autism. I explained my concerns with waiting in line and once I was done they had no further questions and approved me.
They spent some time going over the new accommodations they offer as well and they said the return to queue option is even available to those who also have DAS.
I’m so sorry to everyone who has been denied and felt belittled during the interview. I have experienced that once before under the old DAS system when I did not explain my needs well. I was extremely nervous during this interview, but I had prepared myself well because I knew it wouldn’t be as easy as before.
I think the speculation that they need people to explain their needs well and they will not prompt for more info are accurate.
