Court treatment for autism and prenatal exposure

The law lets juvenile courts run a treatment program for kids with autism or certain neurobehavioral disorders from prenatal alcohol or drug exposure. A child can be assigned if they are alleged or adjudicated for a delinquent act, are diagnosed or reasonably suspected (including by a standardized assessment), would benefit, and are not barred by other law. The court order must list what the child must do to finish the program and any informal supervision or probation rules. The program must send progress reports on a schedule the court sets. The law uses DSM diagnostic rules and includes fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and neonatal abstinence syndrome.
