Autistic Spectrum Disorder And The Criminal Justice System
Why you need to know about autism:
- To ensure you get
accurate information and have
a good understanding of the situation.
- Affects
120 - 130 in 10,000 and literature suggests this
group is over represented in the justice
system.
- Because people with a form of
autism called Asperger Syndrome appear highly intelligent and
capable, but are not actually able to function well under stress,
such as when being interviewed. They
could easily make false statements without knowing.
- Because people with Asperger
Syndrome often laugh or behave bizarrely when under pressure, and
they can appear guilty without
being so.
There are many aspects to autism, including Asperger Syndrome. Time
invested in training or consultation could mean the difference
between your client receiving the right
help or a custodial sentence.
