Webinar on Robert Roberson, Autism, and Injustice

September 24 at 10:00 -11:00 AM PDT

This powerful and timely virtual panel will explore the intersection of Autism and the criminal justice system, spotlighting the case of Robert Roberson — an Autistic man whose experience highlights the systemic misunderstandings that arise when neurodivergence is overlooked in legal proceedings.

Featured Panelists:

  • Connie Kasari, PhD
  • Natalie Montfort, PhD
  • Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, PhD
  • Matthew Belmonte, PhD

Together, these distinguished experts will discuss:

  • How Autism can shape behavior and communication under stress
  • How the legal system often fails to recognize and accommodate neurodivergent individuals
  • Advocacy efforts and policy changes needed to ensure justice for Autistic people

We invite you to join us for this critical conversation as we work toward greater understanding, reform, and advocacy.
