MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) -

The Autism Society of Alabama is trying to get enough people to sign up for a special license plate promoting awareness of the disorder.

The society needs at least 1,000 people to sign up for the tags to be printed.

The special plates cost $50, with $41.50 of that to go to the society. The cost is tax deductible.

The money will go to the society for outreach and community service programs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 88 children in the U.S. has autism.
