Educate The Police: Autism Spectrum Liberation

Speaking in front of Berkeley City council, requesting that the Berkeley Police Department participate in Autism Awareness training as to respect the rights of people with Asperger's Syndrome and other Autism Spectrum Disorders. Also briefly mention a negative interaction with two Berkeley police officers. Given the liberal nature of Berkeley it would be appropriate for chief of police Michael Meehan to pursue police policies that respect the rights of people with developmental disabilities.

Let's translate this: "I am Magical because of the Autism and this means that the jerkops can't arrest me when I act like an asshole!"

Shersh, you sound just like Chris-Chan.

I have aspergers syndrome, I'm 22 years old, and I too want the police within all districts as well as Berkeley to respect my rights and the rights of those who suffer from any degree of autism.

The amount of hateful, ignorant comments below is abhorrent. I'm autistic, and I have been repeatedly harassed by police in my area. I can't leave the house after dark on foot to go to the store, because police stop me. I therefore have a forced curfew. This has happened like 8 times in the last year. Awareness is a MUST here, because with Autistic people, it's the police themselves who are potentially making a scene when they ignore the "reasonable suspicion" laws. It has to stop.
