Here's a nice article about how one retired policeman's new mission is to educate current police officers and other first responders about better ways to interact with people who have Autism or are on the Autism spectrum: www.freep.com/story/life/2014/12/16/autism-safety-education-first-responders/20475355/

Though I might put in a plug for police officers awareness of Cerebral Palsy?
As I have heard of numerous people with Cerebral Palsy, being arrested for being 'drunken and disorderly'!

Where you might consider the humiliation and distress of such an experience?
