Reviews
Melanie Clark Mogavero, Georgian Court University:
Law and Neurodiversity: Youth with Autism and the Juvenile Justice Systems in Canada and the United States provides a thorough and complete guide to better understanding the needs of juveniles and juveniles with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) who engage in crime and deliquency... The authors also recognize the potential multidisciplinary audience for this book, and carefully define justice system and educational terms with which readers may be unfamiliar.

Lori O'Connor:
Law and Neurodiversity is a well-researched, broad academic review of the current state of youth justice systems in Canada and the United States as they relate to autistic youth in conflict with the law.
Richard K. Scotch; professor; School of Economic, Political, and Policy Studies; University of Texas at Dallas:
Youth with autism often fare poorly in juvenile justice systems, which are not well designed for addressing their distinct needs. This broad and nuanced study should be read by anyone interested in the intersection of juvenile justice, neurodiversity, and public policy.
