Big news! My documentary KIDS IN A CAGE will air on @AETV July 16 @ 9pm.

[Morbid Knowledge @MorbidKnowledge]

Man with Asperger’s has been arrested 32 times for impersonating NYC transit workers and hijacking buses and trains, just to drive the routes perfectly.

Darius McCollum is a New Yorker with Asperger’s syndrome who gained international notoriety for his lifelong obsession with the city’s transit system.

Since the age of 15, McCollum has been arrested 32 times for impersonating Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) employees and "hijacking" subway trains and buses.

Remarkably, he never sought to steal the vehicles; instead, he would drive the actual routes, make the correct station announcements, and keep perfectly to the schedule.

His story was the subject of the 2016 documentary "Off the Rails," highlighting the intersection of neurodiversity and the criminal justice system.

I'm quoted in @nytimes re: my upcoming @olympicchannel doc on @RulonGardner: "I knew it would be hard to mess up the film because [Rulon's] life story has so many dramatic moments you couldn’t make that stuff up." https://t.co/2Ajd7E3AQu

Out of respect for the national crisis, @olympicchannel has postponed the release of "Rulon Gardner Won't Die" originally set for June 3. Will update when I have more info. Stay safe!
