Holly Robinson Peete on How Fearing for Her Son’s Life Inspired Her to Advocate for RJ's Law (Exclusive)
Black Lives Matter movement spurred her to advocate for RJ’s Law. The law would help police officers identify drivers with autism and was inspired by the 55-year-old star's son, 22-year-old RJ, who has autism.“About four years ago when RJ started driving, it was a big deal because they said he would never drive, and when he started driving, I was worried about it every time he got behind the wheel, because what happens when he gets pulled over?” Peete told ET’s Deidre Behar.
