I am posting this on behalf of someone else. But it could be my son.
Need a lawyer to help my son that has Aspergers. He is being accused of criminal trespassing but did not do anything only walk through a high school field area. He is a junior in high school.

He also took too long to answer the officer questions so he detained him at the station and my son was so scared and was confused...he gave the officer the wrong year of birth. Now, the officer wants to arrest him and put him in jail for falsifying information. I told the officer that he is autistic but he did not care. Please help...I don't know what to do. This all happened in Hutto, TX at the high school. My son is a student at Hendrickson high. I do not want him punished for his lack of communication / social skills due to being autistic.
I promised to post this as widely as I could. So please spread the word and let me know if you have info on how this parent can deal with this situation.
