Good video. May I add that "they are not challenging your authority" is an important one for all cops, whether dealing with autistic or nonautistic folk. You are someone at work, with a duty a d a fricking gun on your hip. If someone were to question or challenge your authority, I hope you are responsible and confident enough to not let yourself get sucked into a powerfight with someone you are trying to help. If you feel your blood boiling when a person laughs at your remark, you need to talk about that to someone. Because sure, everyone is a person with human feelings, but you are a person with a weapon and (too much) protection from the law behind you and I hope to god that you realise that you have a massive responsibility to keep everyone safe with every step you take.
Obrigado pelo video.
Great video. Thank you for getting the word out about the ways this affects people. Should be mandatory viewing in all departments.
