Highly vulnerable autistics need a strong defence force that deters potentially harmful people from attacking. When attacked, we must be able to defend ourselves effectively. At the same time, vulnerable members of the wider community also need to be protected from harmful and disturbing behaviours of some autistic people. We cultivate strong relationships with like-minded parties so to deal with threats both within and outside our community.
