You know, we've spoke to them for a safer space, you know, for autistic individuals. And then the families who speak out, I encourage them to bridge that gap with their representatives and attorneys and judges and prosecutors and share their story. It's the only way to bridge that gap and remind the world that it isn't just policy, it's personal. These are human beings.

We're going to look back 10 years from now and say, what were we thinking? Putting someone with autism, having that kind of disability, giving them that kind of sentence, it could be a death sentence. And it's really tough because I think if you've been in this environment and understand it, it's harsh and it's devastating. And we have to do better. There has to be another way of doing this.

It's common sense.

The biggest thing that I hope that everyone takes away from this is you're not alone. You're not powerless when they tell you there's nothing you can do. I encourage families, lawyers, judges, please get involved. Please listen to the podcast. Please listen to the families. Our children are not broken. These individuals are not broken. Autism is not a crime.

And it should never be treated like one. Keep speaking. Keep advocating. And know that humanity over handcuffs is right here fighting with you. The shift, the system, and to remind what justice should really look like. And that's humanity first. We've got to have some compassion. We've got to do better.

Because what we just heard in the news lately happening to an autistic individual, nobody wants to hear that. We don't want it to become a tragedy before something changes.
