Have you even been to jail/prison due to As-related issues?

Post Reply New Topic

I've never been, but I'm curious about what stories some of you might have. AS you noticed, I'm disaster-happy.

Never happened to me.

Tim

Nope, never been caught.. per se. Doesnt mean Ive never done anything "wrong". Im a different person now anyway.
Im making a reference to drugs by the way, and other related things

I did "wrong" stuff too, but it was minor scams, not sex or drugs, and I also wasn't caught.

Never been caught

But I know I will finish in a jail or a mental institute.

I haven't been arrested, or gone to prison, but have been picked up by the police.
My Mother was argueing with her partner-at-the-time and it caused me to have a major meltdown. I left the house to go for a walk and try and relax. She was completely oblivious to the fact that I had left the house.
After walking for about 1hr & 20mins a police car stopped next to me when I was walking and an officer asked me if I was ok. I didn't say anything because in a major meltdown I find it hard to talk without missing out words and stuttering. The car stopped and two officers were walking behind me and one of them grabbled my shoulder from behind and I slapped it off and ran. I couldn't run very fast.
They caught up to me and grabbed a-hold of me and put me into the police car. I basically just shut-off and went into my own world at that point. When we arrived at the station that asked me what my name was.
Then I had another meltdown and was screaming and rocking so they ended up putting me in solitary confinment for 5 hours. It was a small room with a grey lino floor and white brick walls. It had an air-conditioner at the top. I didn't need to be in there for five hours, I was fine after one but they said they were getting a psych team to come and evaluate me so I had to stay in there. I told them my name so they rang up Mother and she came down to the police station and told them that I have Aspergers. So then they cancelled the psych team and let me go home.

This happened early this year. It's the only time i've ever been picked up by the police.

Brittany, that reminds me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.

I went bonkers once over some kid in my class making sucky/kissy noises at me.
I hit him with a baseball bat a couple times and then the police were called to the school to arrest me, but I got off because I was a minor. Hooray!

Sort of. School was a nightmare and my parents were clueless and in denial. I did everything to avoid the torture that awaited me at school each day, and by my first year of high school I skipped class regularly rather than deal with my peers. Long story short, no one asked why, no one cared, and I served 6 months in community-based detention center for troubled youth for the offense of "truancy". I have PSTD from the event and still have nightmares (15 years later) that police come and arrest me and lock me up in the youth home again for missing a college class or something equally as idiotic.

AS is a different world for girls.

I was arrested for shop-lifting and spent the night in jail(I had just turned 18).I had been shoplifting for months before I got caught but went a little "crazy" this particular time and was just empting shelves into my bag before I left the store.Most of the clothes,I had taken into the bathroom and removed the tags from them.Because of this the lawyer said that if I stayed in jail and went before the court the next day,they would not have time to track down the cloths and find the prices.He said they would add up the prices and I could be charged with a felony instead of a misdemeaner.It was good advice.I got lucky with the judge(probably because I was a tiny white female with no record).I was given 80?hours of community service and told it would not go on my record,even though I was an adult.I think my "psyciatric history" also helped my light sentence

The second time,I was picked up in a 7-11(convenience store)for stealing "cheesy puffs".I was blacking out drunk at the time and meant to buy them but forgot my money,I was on my way downtown to jump off the car-park ramp and justified my "theft" as the rights of all condemned prisoners to a "last meal"(made sense at the time).The police didnt think so and halled me to detox....I was a ravng thrashing mess and they ended up bringing me to the psychward instead.I was never charged and they let me go the next day(because I had no medical insurence).......Note to self......dont bother "crying for help" unless you have insurence.


I cant even count the other times that I have broken the law and not gotten "caught",all of it involved alcohol....aspie+alcohol=?

Although I cannot claim to be a saint, I haven't been in trouble with the police... yet... Instead, I tend to get OTHER people in trouble for things they do to me!

Ok, first off I want to say that I sincerely dont think im a bad person, just stupid sometimes. Indeed, Alcohol plus AS or HFA or ASD = BAD!! ! Often, i was intoxicated when these events occured, and were youthfull offences. Often, I feel that I was not doing these things to be criminal, but rather, was not thinking of the consiquences at the time, or engadged in this activity during the heat of the moment, and i dont know about everyone else but I cant think clearly on my feet. I have not been in trouble in years, I am a decent, God fearing person and I want to have a good future, saying that here it goes:

- Assult 2nd degree (fistfight with neghboor that I won, REALLY REALLY WONN!!)

- Posession of marijuana (collage)

- DWI (I was drunk the night I moved a large truck from my favorite 'solitary place' I had no right to do this, but at the time i was drunk and did not want them to change the place, i needed it to remain the same, very very stupid mistake)

- Unauthorized use of a vehicle (same night as DWI)

- Posession of marijuana (Still in collage, night of DWI)

- Over .08 BAC (DWI night again...)

ALL together I was arrested 3 sepreate times, once was very serious (DWI). However, much of it was dropped my lawer bargained and now my record only contains a DWI and a posession of marijuana change, how I did not get jail time for the fist fight is beyond me, i had a bloody lip, he had a floating fracture under his eye, he had to go to the hopsital, i went to the station and was released. I was stupid, ignorant, and regret doing everything, i quit smoking pot a while ago, i dont drink and drive, i cut back on drinking and im much more civil, i dont want to fight, i want to be a decent person, and the path i choose was a very bad 1, im glad i learned my lesson, and i hope nobody here thinks im a bad person!

I haven't been in trouble with the police but have miscalculated the consequences of my actions a couple of times. When I was about eight I set a lawnmower on fire at school because this guy didn't believe I could light the tank using the crappie plastic cap gun that I had.

What bothers me more than the criminals is if you know of possible scams and vulnerabilities and you go out of your way to inform the company and they do nothing to protect their customers.

I've been picked up by the police plenty of times to go to the psychiatric hospital, but NEVER jail thankfully. Almost every NT person I meet wants me in trouble with the law. Especially Baby Boomer NTs. That generation always bothers to tell me they're going to get me in trouble with the law, and that pushes me past the breaking point and then I just don't even give a flying f***!I've always been a very bad boy, claiming that ONLY THE LAW has authority to punish me and physically defending myself against all others who try to punish or control me. I just don't know what else to call myself. I don't believe in that bulls*** about "never hit a female". I have PLENTY of respect for women as long as they have respect for me. Soon as they start dissin' me I diss 'em back same way I treat men. I'm definitely NOT intending to violate any forum rules with this post, but I am trying to be very blunt and straight-up with everybody.

My mom unlawfully restrained me when I was a kid, so I hit her plenty in attempts of self-defense. Bottom line...I only hit a female when a female gives me reason to hit her. I don't treat women any different than I treat men & that's that.
