Understanding Autism with Dr. Nick Dubin


Listen Later

Justice-involved autistic individuals have valuable insights for understanding criminal legal challenges related to autism. With proper support and guidance, positive outcomes are possible. Dr. Nick Dubin transformed his own experience in the criminal system into a story of advocacy and hope.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Autism is a condition of profound isolation;
  • Examples of autistic vulnerabilities;
  • A discussion of "theory of mind" (inability to intuit the intentions or feelings of others);
  • How Dr. Dubin became ensnared in the criminal system;
  • How to help decision makers understand the truth of autistic deficits;
  • Advice for lawyers representing clients with autism;
  • Why traditional therapy is not only unhelpful, but potentially traumatizing;
  • Autistic "meltdowns";
  • Dr. Dubin's advocacy and accomplishments.
