I have another comment on this post which may be helpful for you. TLDR Biden’s Admin had tried to protect trans people under the ADA via executive agency. Likely outcome is that will be reversed but the ADA (and similar or related protections) & IMO will not see broader impacts. This is because the law that passed Congress and was sign by the president specifically didn’t include trans people when it was signed (along with a number of other peoples most trans people would be offended to be grouped with).
Tldr tldr: this likely stops trans people from being in the ADA’s protection.
Teacher who had a 504 here: no, IEPs are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act, while 504s are under the rehabilitation act. Most importantly, though, 504s are how you get specific, enforceable accommodations for:
eyesight difficulties, including colorblindness
medical conditions which require that you receive special privileges (unlimited restroom use, nurse access, specific seating/accessibility requirements)
Dyslexia, Dysgraphia & Dyscalculia
and SO much more
most importantly, protections against revealing such disabilities or retaliation against accommodation.
What are these? Are they from an informational site I can direct to?

Not what I was asking, sorry, though thank you for the info. Did you make these info graphics?
First off, not autistic, hope this allowed. Is 504 how IEPs gain legal backing?
