I am totally prepared to start a campaign if there is not one to support ASD Adults going to court on criminal convictions. There are NO specialist solicitors. The Police are dreadful not trained completely for ASD. The courts need to improve advocate support inside then just a solicitor alone then generally get guilty pleas instead of looking at the whole. ASD sadly do not always have a voice and always go along with solicitors bad advice. I would like to see solicitors and courts support cases where ASD and social isolation to be taken seriously in any charges and always seek reports as protocol when is known ASD person is before the courts. Can anyone help me know how to improve the system where guilty pleas are forced then the truth and innocence is lost due to ASD going along with early guilty pleas when innocent to criminal convictions then the entire?
I am all for you if want to start a campaign. I have been a defence witness in court and just not able to speak. It was just to much. I wanted to talk but was not able to and do put this down to me having Autism.Autism is complex issue. Autism is not get out jail free card.Autism can be a mitigating issue.
but hold on, i heard about legal capacity and when people commited a crime because of their disability, they usually get treated at mental hospital not jail. like i heard many cases where some people had killed people because of their depression, they usually get send to mental hospital not prison.
