A Long Island advocate is calling for more representation of neurodiverse people, and he created a special flag just for them.

Josh Mirsky is a 29-year-old member of the New York State Autism Advisory Board who designed a flag to represent the neuro-diverse population.

Mirsky’s flag won out of more than 30 designs in December. It's called the Neuro-Diversity Strength Flag.
