flag Montreal police launch AutSecours to help officers better assist autistic individuals during emergencies.

flag Montreal police have launched a pilot program, AutSecours — l’aide autrement, to improve emergency responses for autistic individuals by allowing families to voluntarily share details about communication styles, sensory sensitivities, and stress triggers. flag The goal is to help officers communicate more effectively, avoid sensory overload, and use calming techniques during crises. flag Inspired by past incidents that caused trauma, the initiative aims to reduce misunderstandings and build trust. flag It is currently available to families served by Giant Steps, a school for autistic individuals, with plans to expand based on lessons learned.
