First responders from across Nevada gathered for a free training session on how to better recognize and respond to individuals on the autism spectrum. The session, hosted by the Autism Coalition of Nevada, aims to help first responders identify key behaviors associated with autism, such as delayed responses, lack of eye contact, or repetition, and adjust their approach in high-pressure situations. The training was part of a broader effort following the passage of Senate Bill 380, which requires autism-specific training for first responders and provides guidance on how officers should be educated on recognizing and interacting with individuals on autism. Organizers plan to expand the training to make it more accessible statewide and to ensure more first responders have the tools needed to safely handle interactions with people on the spectrum.
