When people with autism do come into contact with the juvenile and criminal justice system it is important to view the offense through the lens of autism. Preventing offenses and improving school and community safety has become a priority for many jurisdictions. Cross-System approaches include law enforcement, school-based providers, outside mental health professionals and service providers to assess risk, determine appropriate countermeasures, and connect vulnerable youth and adults to pro-social support and services before they engage in criminal activity. This presentation will focus on the vulnerabilities of people with autism once they enter the criminal justice system, cross systems approaches to prevent contact and improve outcomes and provide a first person account from a person who is neurodiverse and their experiences with first responders. This was a fascinating subject manner! As a clinician and parent of an autistic child nearing teenage years I am very concerned with the perceptions of autistic individuals by law enforcement. I really appreciated the different perspectives from the presenters, it made for a very well-rounded lecture. This was one of the most fascinating topics and most helpful discussions I've been part of. The time just flew by, and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the presenters and their perspectives. Thank you very much for this informative course information. It has given me an incredible eye opener to catching and preventing statistics for young people. Being a mother with 3 ASD boys and a husband with ASD I stand behind anything current and how preventative we can be. The statement by Isabelle people who are in crisis are having a hard time not giving a hard time is a bold and powerful statement. This is such an important topic. Training sessions for police and teens with autism would help to alleviate some of the incidents that go awry.
