There's a new initiative coming to Stillwater, as Oklahoma State athletics is making moves to accommodate for fans with autism.

OSU is teaming up with the Jennifer Sollars Miller of the Autism Center of Tulsa to make football games more autism friendly. With this program, kids can voluntarily wear a badge with an "I'm A-OK" symbol on it, so trained stadium and event staff will be able to identify those with autism and make their families feel more comfortable bringing them to Boone Pickens Stadium.

"It's about identification of the kids, but they also want them to be integrated with the rest of the fans at the stadium," said OSU beat writer Kyle Fredrickson, who wrote about the program - the first of its kind in the country - for the July 4 Oklahoman. "There will be some safe zones these kids can go to be safe if they need it."

In this NewsOK Sports update, Berry Tramel and Fredrickson talk about the inroads OSU is making in autism awareness at sporting events.
