Officer Ledward Hunts Autistic, Fails
Officer Lyle Ledward, of the Berkeley Police Department, features in a PSA regarding police relations to Autistic people. People with Autism are 7 times more likely to be harassed by police officers than their neuro-typical peers. In the PSA, Ledward follows the camera around, ready to issue a citation for the slightest infraction of the strict neuro-typical rule-set (codes, laws, etc.) He fails.

In the PSA, Ledward follows the camera around, ready to issue a citation for the slightest infraction of the strict neuro-typical rule-set (codes, laws, etc.) The camera is of course a movie camera, so Ledward's attempts to block his face with the clipboard don't work. His pathetic attempt at harassment fails in every conceivable way. In the end, Ledward walks away. He fails.
Ledward's clipboard serves as a slate for the message: People with Autism are 7 times more likely to be harassed by police officers than neuro-typical peers. Followed by the slogan: Autism Liberation.
