Neurodiversity on Trial: ASD & The Justice System

In this episode of Justice Speaks, Executive Director Cheryl Roberts explores the intersection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the criminal justice system. Joined by clinical psychologist and author Dr. Isabelle Hénault, attorney and advocate Mark Mahoney, and father-son duo Nick and Larry Dubin, the conversation delves into how individuals with ASD may be uniquely vulnerable within legal systems that often misunderstand neurodivergence. Together, the guests examine legal, psychological, and human rights challenges—and advocate for reform rooted in compassion and science.
