Hi so my person is autistic not an excuse I understand. The lawyer is saying no plea as she thinks he's not fit to participate in his own defense. Anyone else dealing with this with a person with autism and can give me any advice or insight into what sentence he might be facing

Just got context he sent sexual messages no photos and he didn't meet anyone either

If he is considered not fit to enter a plea, then usually he cannot be tried. That will have to be determined by the court first.

It is very unusual and suggests the autism must be quite severe.

The sentencing, assuming it did go to trial, would very much depend on what was said in the conversations. The age of the person he was communicating with, would also make a big difference to the outcome.
