Has anyone get them to accept a less than perfect picture of their family member with autism? (Rules include: facing front, looking at camera, mouth shut, no smile!!!) I tried to contact the Disability Rights Commission about this but their website seems not to be working! Margaret Margaret, We just had s done a couple of months ago, sent it off and they said not good enough. Harald called them and explained that was autistic and that this was as good as it was gonna get (they looked fine to me by the way). Anyway they said fine, we will go ahead with these and that was it. Good Luck Caroline xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 If you have a digital camera you could do your own phoographs. We did and cut them to size - passport photo booths didn't work for us either ! Jane OT: passport photo The new rules are impossible!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi Margaret. A lady friend of ours who has actually been abroad on holiday, said her photo showed here smiling a bit, and wasn't 100% face on either. So between our friend and Mandi, you might stand a chance!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi, we went to one of those travel agents who do check and send. They said just do thebest you can with the photo and they put a note in with the application to say the child was autistic. Had no problem, came back within the week.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Thanks everyone. I was about to go to the Disability Rights Commission - there have been articles in the papers about rejection of applications. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
