Episode 242: Autistic Reading of AJT v Osseo

“Today’s episode offers a critical analysis of how legal frameworks, exemplified by cases like Youngblood, Daubert, and A.J.T. v. Osseo, prioritise institutional intent and procedural adherence over demonstrated harm. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, argues that this pattern, often disguised as professional discretion or neutrality, effectively renders the suffering of individuals, particularly marginalised groups, invisible and legally irrelevant. Drawing on personal experience in forensic science and special education, Dr. Hoerricks contends that this systemic issue is deeply connected to the neoliberal erosion of public institutions and concludes by imagining a truly free public school built on community, care, and relational justice, contrasting it with the current system that prioritises sorting and control.”
