I would love to know this answer myself! My son committed a crime when he was 16 and served 8 and a half years in prison and is now an adult. He is now facing probation violation charges, I couldn't find help back when he was 16 and I'm still having the same problem. there seems to be no advocacy set up for individuals on the spectum who find themselves involved within the legal system. This needs to be address!
