From Current Psychiatry October 12, 2013 issue


Violent behavior in autism spectrum disorder: Is it a fact, or fiction?
A spasm of school violence brought a putative link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and violent crime into public consciousness—even though no specific association exists between autism and violent crime. When a person with ASD commits a violent act, a key step in your workup is to identify or exclude a comorbid psychiatric disorder that might, in fact, explain the offending behavior.

Can't the neo Nazis think up their own propaganda? What about the sensational violent behaviour of thicko allistics, and their apologists?
