Join the American Autism Association and Behavior Specialist Joy F. Johnson for a candid conversation on how to safely interact with police and law enforcement while being on the autism spectrum. The conversation will also touch on specifically the experience of Black individuals on the autism spectrum and address the implications of a biased policing system in the United States.
The event will be streamed on our Instagram Live (@myautism).
We’d like to open up the conversation to our community and ask that you please submit your questions at the link below, and our moderator will present them to Johnson during the discussion.
