  @lobocode@hachyderm.io That's a huge question. Here in the US, there's federal law, and state law. State law varies by state. I could tell you that my state (Maryland) does not require registration of my status as autistic, but other states do. AFAIK, there's no special status at the federal level for people with autism. We do have the ADA which governs how people with disabilities should be treated, and for some people with autism it may matter. There's also anti-discrimination laws here and there. That's about as good an answer as I can conjure up right now.
