In the ruling under study The court said that the accused person is a Person of Disability of mind and spirit for committing injury or assault in a Mental weakness, Recognized the dangers of repeating crime through past history. In addition, they recognized the institutional limitations of treatment for respondents' autistic disorder and sentenced them to Medical Treatment and Custody. This ruling is meaningful in that the court examined the system and made legal judgments. Autistic persons with disabilities are subject to assistance for the registration of persons with disabilities and the protection of their rights in accordance with applicable law. In addition, autism disorder is a developmental disorder accompanied by social interaction, communication restrictions, homology, anger, and aggression, There is no cure through medication or special treatment. If a person with autistic disability commits a crime, it may be subject to Medical Treatment and Custody through investigation and trial. According to a review of the treatment of autistic offenders, Since autism is not curable from the present psychiatric or psychological point of view, it is not valid to pronounce a Medical Treatment and Custody judgment. Also, In case of autism, the workers of short-term foster care facilities are difficult to deal with, and their guardians have limitations in caring for them for 24 hours. There is no basic data for judging policy needs due to the lack of statistics on criminal justice for autistic offenders. Therefore, Autism disorders cannot be the target of overcoming for cure, so treatment that suppresses temporary symptoms caused by drug prescription should be avoided. In addition, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of symptoms for autistic offenders and to develop professional protection personnel who can guide and assist criminal justice procedures and social services. In addition, the criminal justice treatment status according to the degree of disability of autistic persons with disabilities should be specifically recorded and used as basic data for criminal policy.
