I don't give a s**t what the papers say about autism because it only effects me personally and I can sort that out with any people I know. I care when the papers just talk total s**t about you know, Islam.

Well yes, my point was more that I can help to correct it. If I try to correct people about Islam then I have little credibility and everyone just thinks they're f*****g terrorists anyway.

with any condition like ASDs,have to takr the bad with the good,is not always excuse no matter how stupid or disruptive it sounds.
is often called excuse because no one likes to be associated with the others behavior.


it looks worsrt when they only get diagnosed when they're about to be jailed for something bad,because they never needed the help before then,so why start just as are about to be sent to jail? it makes it look obvious are doing it for excuse.

Yes, I guess there could be legitimate crimes that people with autism commit unwittingly. Maybe you could forget and stare at somebody and make them think you were harassing them. Or somebody could trick you into doing something illegal because you were too naive to figure out it was a trick. Maybe you could get into a meltdown and hit somebody trying to calm you down (but that would be more of a problem of the other person not knowing you don't touch autistic people having meltdowns unless you know they want it)...

But all the cases that have been mentioned here aren't cases of unknowingly doing something that hurts somebody or breaks the law. They're cases where people knew what they were doing and often planned it beforehand.
