Police are dangerous for those on the autistic spectrum

Greetings to Mr DaveAsperg. & Anyone reading might like to try this organisation:

http://www.npaa.org.uk

(NPAA = National Police Autism Association.)

...They have/had a Thread upon here, which was largely forgotten... but they seem to still be going, and Their Own Site is/was sometimes interesting...!

...In any case, I half agree and disagree with the Police being "dangerous" part. If in dire straits (from Allistics) I Myself would run away and/or seek out a Policeman. It is, yes, a great shame that MONEY influences so very very much nowadays. I regard the Police as they stand, to be the same as most other Organisations in that they are largely not educated towards Autism, just like GPs or SocialWorkers or anyone else... Autism is a "Minority" after all compared to Allistics.

(...I Myself have more trouble with those *pretending* to be Police rather than Police themselves. Security Guards and Volunteer Security are a bit of a bane (Allistic& prone to lying.).)

...This is the Thread for NPAA within this Forum, about Four Years old. For some reason, the Main NPAA link which I gave above is HTTP and not HTTPS ("S" denotes "secure")... I cannot comment further about this, but the link is there.

My own experience with the police has been extremely bad and the NPAA seems solely focussed on the protecting those on the ASD in the police.. I couldn't even get a reply from them despite many attempts. Maybe they could help in situations where autistics have been arrested as we are usually misunderstood and first impressions are crucial in the way police behave.

Here's a view from the ASD side

The police need educating about autism and to have great care with their use of the TASER and aggressionhttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/how-training-police-to-understand-people-with-autism-could-save-lives?fbclid=IwAR1xQO1dLSRceUFdL2qzh0Q5Q7EZdsxozbAuQi100oywTKr8h0q89MkA1w8

I never even mentioned suicide, but said my life was in danger as I had just had a serious cycle accident with mri changes on brain scan and unable to walk . The police got my medical records, found I was seeing a psychiatrist with suicidal ideation and said it was an implied suicide threat I was making. They got me to sign a statement about saying my life was in danger as I believed it was , but left out the bit about saying I had just had a cycle accident. They tricked me into a trap I believe, which was unjust and unfair. I am appealing but I have been nearly killed by the police actions. They like to win and couldn’t care for my life

thsnks for troubling to converse. Dare I ask if you are associated with the police? Looking at your profile I suspect not but very thorough with language details.

i really don’t understand why they charged and convicted me for this other than making it a lead in to a more serious imagined charge that I was found unanimously not guilty of and was about soje computer nerd trap that I was also caught in
