i also understand the feelings of frustration with the 'no hidden agenda' situation. repeat.repeat.repeat. there's more to write about this, and it gets very confusing to me too, so you're not alone!
do you think some of the police or not 'projection' of DA being 'mean, rude, and devious' simply stems from a lack of capacity [wiring] to even go deeper and/or to see outside of self, with compassion - in some, maybe it just isn't there ?
in that case, what do you do- keep apologising?

Thank you for your kind words about Mac, She was 15 and everyone loved her. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I laid next to her and held her the entire time.
I think the police as are afraid every moment they are at work, so many of them are killed in the line of duty, that they are taught to look for signs and to see anger or not answering as a threat. Hopefully as more people are open about AS and Autism, there will be more training and understanding for them. Also parents like Christie who fill out paperwork and take it to emergency responder personnel help too.
I apologize because conflict freaks me out and when I was a kid, no one knew about AS, so it was always deemed my fault if I did not react appropriately as the daughter of Southern Baptist Missionaries. I was in the spotlight 24/7 which makes me very jumpy. When I get that feeling, I apologize and apologize and don't trust that I am actually right. I berate and berate myself. Maybe because it seems familiar? I am in therapy and we are working on this.
