The Bronx, NY Autism Criminal Defense
Social interactions can be difficult for individuals with autism to navigate through. With changing social norms, ambiguous nonverbal cues, and a rapidly developing online space, there are many forms of communication that can be unclear. Unfortunately, through these channels, some behavior may be perceived as inappropriate, even if autistic individuals are unaware. Particularly in cases involving romantic relationships or a natural curiosity with online behavior, some people may face a greater risk of inappropriate actions that lead to charges filed against them.
Fortunately, the field of criminal defense has also developed to respond to certain types of cases involving individuals with autism. In several cases, autism has been accurately presented as a mitigating factor for legal charges. These favorable rulings have protected individuals from being wrongly accused. However, there are also many people who are not aware that such a defense is available to them. While individuals with autism are certainly capable of committing crimes with wrong intentions, there are also individuals who unknowingly commit crimes.
