Police interview of autistic person without appropriate adult

If the police are called to someone in a care home displaying challenging behaviour, taken away unaccompanied by staff, locked up in a police cell overnight, interviewed without an appropriate adult.

The individual is autistic and vulnerable, but the police have not been informed of this by the home and proceed with the interview. The police notify the nearest living relative, who informs them that the person has autism. However, the police do not believe them and refuse to allow them to be the ‘appropriate adult.’

The duty solicitor is also unaware of the individual’s autism, as police have inaccurately stated the person has ‘multiple mental health issues,’ which is incorrect since autism is not a mental health issue.

It appears that they did not have an 'appropriate adult` present during the interview.
The solicitor answer to this was at least this person did not say anything at all during the interview, but he also was not informed that person autistic. When he was also offered proof by the nearest living relative, he told them never to call again and hung up.
Is this behaviour unacceptable, if so, what action, if any should be taken?

Just because the person has autism does not necessarily mean he requires an appropriate adult whilst he is being read his rights and to also be present during his interview. i.e. do we think the likes of Elon Musk has an appropriate adult with all his business decision because he has autism… unlikely

Does the male have 24x7 carers with him who act as an appropriate adult with all his decision making and/or is on a DOLS? Also how old is he? I am guessing an adult? and what was the outcome of the alleged crime? Also bear in mind for certain offences Police can also charge without interview.

I have no intention of answering your invasive questions and believe you have missed the point by making any comparison with Elon Musk.

Thank you Kyle
You have given me a lot of useful information which I intend to pursue all aspects of it, I believe in accountability and the right to speak up to protect others who might find themselves in the same situation.
