"First Responders and People Diagnosed with Autism - what each needs to know about the other"
Speaker Dr Bobby Newman, New York
As more and more people diagnosed with autism live in the community, opportunities for interactions with first responders (police, fire, EMT, etc.) have increased exponentially. Training for first responders has been non-existent or not always been optimal, however, and this has unfortunately led to misunderstandings with tragic consequences, including autistic people being shot and killed and first responders being injured. In this webinar Dr. Bobby Newman provides the information and background that will allow for safer interactions and avoidance of the tragedies that have occurred.
