Sure, just post the link to the original article from Breach Bang Clear. Please share it far and wide.

I am also the father of an autistic son who is currently four years old. He too possesses sensory sensitivities and will either cover his ears or randomly scream/ screech or grab at you out at certain noises and events. I’ve been so preoccupied with providing all necessary support so he can be successful in school that potential police intervention at some point in his life hadn’t ever become a thought.

With the prevalence of autism steadily increasing, it is falsely assumed that people, educators, first responders and others have been formally introduced and educated about the issues surrounding persons with autism.

Thank you for your insight on the issue. I would like to bring up the topic with my own local PD to see what kind of training, if any, they have dealing with autistic adults and children.
