Developmental disorders/Autism and Jail

Post Reply New Topic

I would suspect the kid has Aspergers, or is on the high functioning end of Autism. His behaviour often looks rehearsed and too typical. His inability to understand a joke in the last few seconds speaks for itself, and he does appear a little odd. Anyhow maybe i'm wrong, but it would freak me out to be in his position.

i wish i could see the whole video

^ Wait . . you could see it right? Maybe replace the au with 'www'. I've seen the whole vid itself. He doesn't do too good from what i remember.

i saw the video what i meant was it said on the site the video was a snippet from an episode on the Discovery Channel i meant i wish i could see the whole episode

This is where an autistic may learn real violence. He will come out either completely broken or much harder and dangerous. He will become yet another enemy of the system!

^ Yeah i would hate to be in his position. Notice he somehow unintentionally draws all that unwanted attention? I'm sure alot of use can kinda relate here.

I have seen the whole video. I think he is NT with some antisocial disorders. People who are not streetwise and thrown in that type of environment are going to be vulnerable.

I have a confirmed diagnose of mild autism and i was thrown in prison for several months. I had problems with impulse control and could act very ADHD or Borderline personality but so could other women.
Nearly everyone loved me and thought i was beautiful.
They say 'your beautiful and you dont need to be in here' and the other women that was in there a long time and respected really liked me and no one was allowed to pick on me.
I didnt want leave prison. I could so relate to the other women.
One of the girls had a brother with a disability and she could tell there was something different about me. I think thats why she looked after me. Not that i couldnt look after myself and everyone knew i had a temper.
