He was thrown to the ground once at gunpoint for something he didn’t do. Recently, the police tried to arrest him for breaking and entering while opening the door to his own apartment because he was suspicious. The thing is, the police know he is disabled and have a copy of paperwork showing I am his legal guardian. They always call me when something happens. I have to drive over and tell them to put their guns away. My son is a law abiding citizen. His crime is having autism.
I’m sorry
