Bridging the Gap: Understanding Skill-Based Vulnerabilities of Adults with Autism in the Criminal Justice System

June 12 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Event Navigation

Adults with autism are at an increased risk of involvement in the criminal justice system. It is not necessarily because of criminal intent, but often due to core deficits in communication, social understanding, and executive functioning. This training explores how challenges such as difficulty interpreting social cues, understanding boundaries, managing impulsivity, and communicating effectively with authority figures can lead to misunderstandings, escalation and unintentional legal violations.
