To keep to oneself, to be secretive, to be very cautious in one's dealing with people and giving nothing much or nothing at all away. (As if one were playing cards and not permitting anyone to see any of the cards.)
"He is very cautious. He plays his cards close to his chest."
"You seem to be playing your cards close to your vest."
"Roy likes to play his cards close to his chest"
"To play one's cards close to one's chest is not nice etiquette"

the dangerous statement to shutup disadvantaged/low status ethnic groups(african american) from speaking out about true racist acts and discrimination against them so advantaged/more dominant groups can get away with treating disadvantaged/low status groups(african americans) unfairly and don't have to face any guilt or remorse
a statement now can be used by low status ethnic groups to fire back and shutup more dominant/powerful groups from playing the helpless minority using their race to get unfair advantages over low status/disadvantaged ethnic groups after telling low status ethnic groups to stop doing

Making reference to you or your child's autism diagnosis (as a form of disability) in a conversation with a service provider (or customer service representative) to lend greater urgency or import to your request, complaint or request for policy exception. Derived from similar term "Playing he Race Card", an idiomatic phrase that refers to exploitation of either racist or anti-racist attitudes by accusing others of racism.
I can't believe I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to pick up an item at Best Buy that was supposedly ready yesterday. After 10 minutes my son had a meltdown from the sensory overload of spending so much time in the bright, loud store.
You could see employees standing around doing nothing while I waited in line. When the manager working the desk made a comment that 'someone was a little cranky' (instead of apologizing for the inappropriate wait), I almost lost it. I'm still pretty angry but at least I got a $50 gift card after I complained to corporate, Playing the A Card.
