yes it's a slow slog but i love to hear the stories about these judges after 30 years i'm still an optimist about human beings and the human spirit and i think fundamentally judges are trying to do the right thing it's incumbent upon us to give them the information they need to make the right decision so that goes back to the lawyers aren't equipped to tell these stories they don't know

You hear those stories. They're scattered all over. And then there are some prosecutors who get this. You maybe offer diversion or better plea agreement. And there are judges who get this. And then there are some who just don't get it or don't care. There's legislation that's creeping in just in little dribs and drabs. I love Malcolm Gladwell. He talks about the tipping point.

We are nowhere near the tipping point. I feel like we're on the very, very front end of building awareness and making widespread, lasting, systemic change. But you have to keep pointing to those little small victories just for the simple fact that it validates. We're not just blowing smoke here as defense lawyers. This is real. What we're telling you is real.

You don't have to take our word for it. Look at these judges. Look at this legislation, whatever. I'd like to see changes to the federal sentencing guidelines. I have reached out to some of these groups, and I hope that we can spearhead that. I know there's been attempts to make changes to federal legislation, but I think it's got to be one step at a time, one state at a time.

one jurisdiction at a time, one judge at a time, and eventually there will be a tipping point. And here's the sad truth. I don't know if it's going to be 10 years from now or 20 years from now. I hope it's not 30 years from now.

But we're going to look back at the way we treated people on the spectrum who found themselves in trouble, and we're going to be horrified and ashamed about it, that we didn't understand this better and we didn't understand it quicker.
