Offering screening for neurodivergence to people detained by the police could help ensure access to appropriate support and fairer treatment in the criminal justice system, say Cambridge researchers. A study from the team suggests that one in two individuals arrested and detained in London may have undiagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and one in 20 may have undiagnosed autism.
Those 2 things - being arrested, having ADHD - are completely irrelevant to each other. Should they also screen everyone they detain for skin cancer?
Having skin cancer doesn’t immediately affect your access to fair and appropriate support through the justice system.
How do you know they’re irrelevant? Have you… done a study?
