[quote=Anonymous]My adult son has some significant special needs - always had since birth. Many doctor visits later, we get a dx of ADHD, sensory processing disorder, social anxiety, and PDD. At age 19, he was found to have a brain injury also but we have no idea how he got that. He has no memory of what could have caused that either. After much therapy over the many years, he's doing better...but not better enough to stay out of trouble. He still has the need for high stimuli and thats why he enjoys driving fast. He's a great college student now (GPA 3.5), he started his own side business, and he has a part time job in addition to these. He's never touched alcohol or drugs, ever. This we know for a fact. But he was speeding excessively (over 40 mph above speed limit) and now risks going to jail. I'm pretty sure his mental health issues and neurological issues will mean nothing to the judge. Since the charge, he has voluntarily given up his car, given up driving, take ubers everywhere or gets rides from friends and family. I'm afraid this will harm his future ability to get jobs and to get acceptance into a Master's program. Lawyers, what do you think he can do to help make a case for probation instead of jail time? If he pleads guilty, which I think he should, how will it affect him in life?[/quote]
