Send us a text
John Puls, a psychotherapist specializing in forensic work, shares critical insights on navigating the intersection of autism, mental health, and the criminal justice system.
He draws on his extensive experience working with individuals in crisis to offer practical guidance for families and caregivers.
• Working as a psychotherapist with both autistic individuals and those with severe mental health issues
• Providing forensic services including testifying for involuntary commitment cases and mitigation for reduced sentencing
• Crisis Intervention Trained (CIT) officers and Service Population Advocates as promising but limited resources
• Finding qualified legal representation that understands autism and mental health issues
• Advocating with prosecutors and judges to focus on treatment rather than punishment
• Writing personalized letters to judges explaining family support and treatment plans
• Seeking local mobile crisis teams instead of calling law enforcement when possible
• Connecting with support groups to learn from other families' experiences navigating the system
• Properly communicating needs to first responders to avoid unnecessary arrests
