Criminal Justice Professionals
People with Asperger Syndrome tend to live ‘by the rules’ this means that they are usually less likely to come into contact with the Criminal Justice System as a perpetrator. However their very great difficulty in understanding and participating in social situations means that they are more likely to become the victim of crime.
Many of our members have had prolonged difficulties following quite innocent interactions with the police and so it is vital that all members of the criminal justice system are aware of the needs and difficulties associated with Asperger Syndrome.
The National Autistic Society has an excellent series of resources to help Criminal Justice Professionals who come into contact with people with Asperger Syndrome. Many people (but not all) with Aspergers Syndrome carry an Autism Alert Card on their person which should alert you to their needs.
