In our June episode we went to "Little Nicky's" house for his birthday party. Robbie had so much fun splashing in the water with the kids that Nicky's family invited us to go with them to Hoboken to play in a water park.
We were on our way to pick Robbie up and I called to say we were on our way. But the voice on the other end said "We have a problem. The police are here".
It turns out Robbie had a tantrum, and it resulted in them having to call the police. I explain in the video. Robbie was fine, and actually was amused by the whole ordeal. I was not! All I can say is after this, I think it's a good idea for all Police Departments to have adequate training about Autism.
Recently someone posted another article about the police handling people with Autism. I believe the Police Academy should bring in Behavior Specialists to train Police Officers in how to understand and handle people with Autism, and do follow up training at every Police Department.
