    I have an autistic son, and the possibility that he could one day interact with police without my wife or I there is the stuff of nightmares to me.

    Linden Cameron

    Those two come to mind immediately. I’m quite sure there are more.

      My neighbor’s kid is also autistic and on rare occasions used to randomly walk into our house.

      Startled the shit out outta us, but luckily we aren’t the type of cowards who need a gun to feel safe.
