Adult bullying and dealing with police

Hello

I am trying to connect with other adults on the autism spectrum who have been bullied/stalked by other adults and had difficulties dealing with law enforcement and anyone who has had success dealing with police dealing with crimes against autistc spectrum adults

thanks

  • I always try to believe in people and see only the best in them. But I live in a fairly criminal area, and most of my friends are sometimes in the police station. They say that often the treatment of the police to them is simply terrible; they could be hit and humiliated. But then I came across one blog https://www.tonydosenpoli.cereports.com/ of a former policeman and read how many bad things the police do. This made me very upset too. But I still hope that there are more good people than bad ones.

  • It seems to me that not all police officers are so bad, there are good ones.

    ...To those who Post currently upon THIS Thread... this Link is to the "NPAA"'s OWN Thread upon this NAS Forum. This is direct to them, they are the OP (Opening Poster), rather than "floridauk". Good Luck.      :-/

  • But if the people doing the bullying are the police who have no understanding of AS and have expert ways of blocking effective complaints, then awful

  • thanks for taking the time to reply.  I have been working with local police for about 6-8 years but...and I am sure you know...without prosecutable evidence, it can be really tough.  my autism is what cast the doubt on me from the beginning and it has been really hard to undo....and that is what i hope maybe to contribute to if and when this dangerous activity is resolved...to somehow save other As adults from fighting for safety without police having tools for high functioning adults on the AS...did you see the big bang theory tv show when their apt was broken into?  

    I have been visited by and humiliated by Inspector level and Commander level local police who tested my supposed paranoia one time and then explained that, even after 3 assaults, they had robberies, rapes and murders to attend to with not enough funding.

    I have several aquaintances who are retired police so i truly respect all the issues but i will always know that they found my personality 'odd' and maybe off-putting and for that and the lack of knowledge and tools, i am still unable to stop the 'secret' bullying...now attempts to cause a melt down we suffer when injustice creeps in and we cant express the fear properly...so they can 'prove' i am a nut....and i am a soft-souled, spiritual person who has never hurt anyone but myself....

    i am just exhausted...beyond belief....and my husband and i, he is also AS, carried a 2 year civil case because that is all police could tell us to do.  we had no lawyer, just our integrity, and 5 different judges renewed the protection because they 'got it'.  they wanted us to go forward with a hearing because of all the circumstantial evidence....a hearing????  can you imagine an AS adult looking at the faces of 4-8 people who are able to lie as calmly as they sleep, and trying to explain years of abuse without falling apart....

    and so, i just keep hoping....and praying....and trying my best to use resources like this to continue the intellectual input to self-explain people who hate and bully disabled  adults...and i am obese, too, so discrimination.  i am from the orlando, florida area....grew up there...and so now the world sees a different view of what hate crime can do....so i try to look at the 3 assaults and thank God that I am still alive, still sane and still blessed in my marriage...but I will never stop fighting for justice

    thanks for your time and input

    warmly
