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

Event Date & Time : June 12, 2025 (10:00 am - 11:00 am)

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 effectivly with authority figures can lead to misunderstandings, escalation and unintentional legal vilations.
