An online survey gathered the experiences and views of 394 police officers (from England and Wales) regarding autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Just 42 % of officers were satisfied with how they had worked with individuals with ASD and reasons for this varied. Although officers acknowledged the need for adjustments, organisational/time constraints were cited as barriers. Whilst 37 % of officers had received training on ASD, a need for training tailored to policing roles (e.g., frontline officers, detectives) was identified. Police responses are discussed with respect to the experiences of the ASD community (31 adults with ASD, 49 parents), who were largely dissatisfied with their experience of the police and echoed the need for police training on ASD.
一项在线调查收集了394名(来自英格兰和威尔士)警官对自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的经历和看法。只有42%的警官对他们与自闭症谱系障碍患者的合作方式感到满意,原因各不相同。尽管警官们承认有必要进行调整,但组织/时间限制被视为障碍。虽然37%的警官接受过关于自闭症谱系障碍的培训,但人们发现需要针对警务角色(如一线警官、侦探)量身定制培训。文中还讨论了警方的回应与自闭症群体(31名成年自闭症患者、49名家长)的经历之间的关系,这些自闭症群体对他们与警方打交道的经历大多不满意,并同样认为警方需要接受关于自闭症谱系障碍的培训。
