Slide Note

Autism Spectrum Disorder, is the technical term from the American Psychological Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition, for Autism. It also includes Asperger’s, a diagnosis that is no longer given. This presentation considers the vulnerability of people with autism to disciplinary hearings and at employment tribunals. It is based on research by Clare Allely and Ann Creaby-Attwood into the forensic vulnerabilities of people with autism, that is their increased vulnerability to being charged or convicted with crimes.

People with autism may face vulnerabilities in disciplinary proceedings and employment tribunals due to impaired theory of mind, communication difficulties, insistence on sameness, stereotyped behaviors, and sensory sensitivities. These challenges can lead to misunderstandings, difficulties in coping with change, and problems with impulse control and memory. Understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial for providing appropriate support and accommodations in legal processes involving individuals with autism.
