Autism and Justice System Support
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

Welcome to the DThree
We are committed to driving meaningful reform in the criminal justice system by educating and empowering stakeholders to advocate for change. Too often, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Autism, are misunderstood and mishandled within current legal processes. These systemic failures lead to unnecessary, harmful prosecutions that offer no public benefit and cause profound, avoidable harm.
Our mission is to change this. We work to ensure that legislators, officers of the court, and other decision makers understand the unique needs of this population and recognize that support, education, and appropriate accommodations—not prosecution—lead to equitable outcomes. Through targeted education, neurodivergent‑affirming legal resources, and practical advocacy tools, we bridge the gap between developmental disabilities and the legal systems that affect them. Our goal is a justice system that protects, supports, and truly serves individuals with Autism and other developmental disabilities.
