When I was 16, I was called to a meeting with an investigator named Sam. Upon meeting with him I was informed that someone had reported me for sexual assault against a minor, my cousin of 4 years at that time who I had never met. I did my best to explain that I’m autistic and children frighten me, and I was assured that he did not feel I’d broken the law. I was allowed to leave. The next day, I was arrested at the courthouse for sexual assault on my cousin I’ve never met and taken to jail. I spent two years in jail without any support for my autism while the court waited for me to turn 18. Once I was of age, and after getting beaten several times a week, I was given a plea bargain and I pled guilty to a crime I never committed to escape my torment. After spending 6 years in prison on a 10 year sentence, I was released. My first probation officer worked tirelessly to reincarcerate me, as she felt “retards” didn’t need help, they needed to die. I spent an additional 4 years in prison for doing as my probation officer told me to do. After my release December 22, 2015 I swore to sue anyone who tried to get me to break the law, whether probation officer or not. I’m 38 years old now, I still have no support for my autism, I have developed many new mental and physical health problems, and I’ve still never met the cousin I allegedly raped. August 23rd, 2016 I was hit by a truck on a motorized bike for being autistic and gay. I nearly died, I cannot drive, and I live every day hoping to pass away. I simply am tired of living convicted of a crime I didn’t commit, I have tried to get a pardon, but to no avail. I’m still afraid of children, and I wouldn’t save one drowning in a river. My autism was used against me! How many people have to suffer like me?
