Recommendation · verbatim
There must be a strong understanding of neurodivergence across the justice system. People should not find themselves in the criminal justice system as a consequence of a failure to understand neurodiversity and distress. At the same time, it is not acceptable that victims of crime are being doubted as a consequence of a failure to understand neurodivergence.
