Is it better to have two officers there or should we just have one officer in the room and maybe just have the other one off in the background? Again, bullet point questions, make sure that we give them time to answer. And if they don't answer...

rephrase your question don't ask it the exact same way because again that could be aggravating to some of them rephrase your question keep them short keep them simple and in some cases if this is difficult for the individual we might have to do some questioning during a second session that you might not be able to do everything in one session.

So it's really, it's going to be having input, meeting the individual where they are at, finding out what their comfort level is. Some autistic individuals that I have spoken to, that all they have to do is hear that there's a police officer coming and their anxiety will go through the roof.

And even though they might be highly verbal because their anxiety is extremely high, it is going to be difficult for them to communicate. So do we need to go with maybe yes or no questions and have them point to a yes or no card? Well, maybe. And then again, hopefully the parent or caregiver is there and they can let you know that. Do we need to go maybe to picture cards?

Is that going to be something? Again, we're not trying to belittle the autistic individual, but this is special circumstances. And again, we're not looking to escalate something. Let's find something that is going to be easier for them to communicate. Now, another thing that I am looking into are sensory bags for the officers to keep in their vehicles.

So I've started reaching out and asking law enforcement, is this something that you have? And maybe this is something that we need to look into. I have seen some articles where this is being used and it has been extremely helpful. So, again, I go and I give that scenario where you go and you have law enforcement that is looking.

They've been watching the house and they know there's a child or children in the household. There's a husband and a wife. But then that child's friend or cousin stays over and they are there under the spectrum. Well, maybe they don't have those sensory items that help soothe them. So wouldn't it be helpful for an officer to have that?
