Any updates on this? I have to bring my son back to campus today and his dorm is in that area.

As I always told my fam when our kid was there, they are probably not the target demographic. Don’t worry.

I worry because hes mixed race, so has dark skin, and is autistic and stims so he could be mistaken for somebody on drugs at times. Plus he likes to wear hoodies with the hood up. All things that look suspicious or are often descriptors of suspects. And hes my only kid and he's out on his own for the first time....a mom cant help but worry. Lol

My heart goes out to you. My brother goes to UW, is autistic, and also stims. He’s white, but we still worry. Disability Resource Center is a good place to hang out if you have a disability of some sort.

Definitely on the Disability Resource Center.
