Mark Mahoney: Fighting for Autism Justice
Send us a text
Mark Mahoney reveals his groundbreaking work as possibly the only attorney in North America exclusively dedicated to defending individuals with autism spectrum disorder who face criminal charges.
Through years of specialized practice, he shares crucial insights about how the criminal justice system fundamentally misunderstands autism.
• Autism directly affects social understanding and learning of unwritten rules
• People with autism often commit crimes without understanding they're doing anything wrong
• Most prosecutors, judges, and attorneys lack basic knowledge about autism
• Many clients have normal or high IQs but social skills equivalent to a 3-year-old
• The criminal justice system treats autism cases as standard situations despite DOJ guidelines
• Organizations meant to advocate for autism often avoid addressing criminalization issues
• Prevention through explicit teaching of social and sexual boundaries is crucial
• Careful selection of attorneys who understand autism is essential for families
• Mahoney's cases show 40% success at keeping clients off sex offender registry
• Zero percent recidivism among his nearly 200 clients demonstrates these are not typical offenders
