Jill Escher: SFASA's Autism Civil Rights Project
ACRP page
To better inform our autism community about important civil rights issues affecting all of us, we are publishing a series of interviews with experts exploring the interface between autism and the justice system. We will also be listing helpful resources.
Topics include:
• Interactions with police and first responders
• Criminal prosecutions
• Alternatives to prosecution, sentencing and incarceration
• The mismatch between autism-driven behaviors and traditional legal remedies
• Needed reforms
• Civil lawsuits, including NIMBY actions and harassment suits
