This case is authored by a resident of Araucaria who requested the free pass in August 2022. In the action, the subject reported that his request was made due to financial issues, since he is registered in the federal government's CadÚnico, in addition to presenting the autistic spectrum disorder.
However, her request ended up being denied, with the statement that he had not correctly attached the certificate with the rules of the concession of this specific benefit, since this document is required in the indication of two or more adaptive limitations in relation to the subjects.
However, the judge who was in charge of the case ended up clarifying that, currently, the legislation has changed in relation to the evaluation of people who have the autism spectrum disorder and that this should also be applied, consequently, in the granting of the free pass in public transport interstate.

“In the case in question, it is not necessary to speak of two access barriers or two adaptive limitations, as occurs with mental disabilities. All you need is a report from a public health service provider or a private service that is part of the SUS”, she reports.
