Understanding Vulnerabilities of Individuals with Autism in Disciplinary Hearings and Employment Tribunals
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.
