autistic adults and the police

Hi everyone thought I would put this up for all those adults with autism the nsw police are now doing special training to deal with people who are on the spectrum. Horray!!!! at long last. The nightmare my family went through with the police and my son2 for 5-6 years has left a huge scar on my family and has I believe been the catalyst of my schizoaffective disorder. Hopefully now the nsw police will have a better understanding of autistic individuals and how to help them. Cheers to the good news. peaxxx

@greenpea This is wonderful news! Sounds like a few of the states are upskilling police in various areas, well done NSW Pol. And thanks for sharing 🙂
