I was told by my Father that I should bring this important news, to other people who have Autism, more importantly Aspergers. This rather deleterious situation happened a couple months ago. But it still shocks and makes me disgusted till this day that it happened, and makes me abhor the fact that it did happen in a court room. I shall not abstain myself, so, please, bare with me, because I do hope you will all find the conclusion most amicable.


A couple of Months ago, I had been denied my right to speak in front of several people in a court room, to stand up for my step mother because I was Autistic. and yes, it was specifically because of that very reason. I was qualified to stand up for her in various ways, but, because the judge had found out I was autistic, I was denied my right to speak. Basically being told that because I was Autistic, I was therefore "Unintelligent" and was not able to be brought to the front of the court to have my say. I swear to you all, that I am not making any of this up, that what I bring fourth to you is very true.


They were brusque in their thinly veiled biased statements, and extremely condescending. When I was at first hoping that I could finally speak up and be able to settle such things, hoping some compassion would be seen in what I would say and a compromise to be given. Instead I was met with a back handed slap of Ignorance.

Ridiculous. My brother has aspergers and is the smartest person i know. that judge needs to be held accountable for being so ignorant.

This is completely illegal. Judges are supposed to be impartial but clearly that isnt the case here. So sorry you had to deal with that kind of discrimination.
