It's odd, though, that the article identifies her as "an autistic woman," when the disability concerned is actually a traumatic brain injury. Bad reporting. Autism and traumatic brain injury are two very different conditions. In no way does that excuse the actions of the ICE thugs, but the article and the headline should have been clarified that there were two different conditions involved, and that autism was secondary to the need for a wheelchair. I question whether autism was a factor. in the first place.
