Brian Shrader: How Autism is Misunderstood in the Legal System

All of these hands-on with people can be very overstimulating, very scary, and it can really trigger things to get much worse.

That's the answer, is we've got to show them The system will be saved because clearly saving an individual is not enough to motivate anybody. Otherwise, this would have been done by now.

i was looking at the general allegations looking at their criminal history making a plea offer and trusting that the defense attorneys were going to do it but a lot of these individuals are going to end up with public defenders who also are taxed to the maximum who have very little resources and have too many files assigned to them and a lot of public defenders are tremendous attorneys and tremendous people who really are trying to do the best they can but
