  I found this statement by the judge to be very problematic.

  The judge said Kowalski’s actions were “affected by your neurodivergence”, and also noted Macdonald’s autism diagnosis.

    The activists brought it up in their defence, though?

      I can’t find any mention of them using neurodiversity as a defence in the article, nor the press release by Just Up Oil.

    I assume the defendant had mentioned as way of mitigation?
