Lyness Gets Coverage in Washington Again

Honorable Senator Durbin:

The following are my public comments for the hearing regarding: Law Enforcement Responses to Disabled Americans: Promising Approaches for Protecting Public Safety
Hearing Before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Human Rights. I am President of the National Alliance on Mental Illness BA and my son with Asperger Syndrome is facing 55 years due to the Criminalization of Asperger Syndrome. I also sent written testimony to the National Institute of Mental Health NIH recently. Please contact me if you need additional information.
