Spoof Study Claimed 92% Of Convicted Murderers on Spectrum

Autistics are less likely to commit crimes not more likely infact their more likely to be the victim. Well, I did join the Dark Brotherhood.

Don't your dare mention bronies they're a disgrace to human kind. On a completely unrealated topic Pokemon fans are much better.

I agree. I mean, I don't know about some other countries, but in the UK gays and lesbians are now accepted and is out in the open, and most aren't afraid to admit it. So if homosexuality can be accepted, you'd think neurological disorders would be too. I mean, there's still so much silly stigma attached to neurological disorders, and then it makes everything worse when out pops another 'study' claiming that an extremely high number of Aspies are serial killers, and spoof or not, many people will get the wrong idea just by looking at the title, and then Aspies get a bad name. It's scary.

What Do We Really Know About Autism and Crime?

How true. It seems everyone gets special consideration these days. Homosexuals get hate speech protection, their own parades, flags, a pride day, the list goes on. The blind get sunglasses, nice dogs to pet and love on, and brail on the drive-up ATMs. Transgendered people get their own bathroom. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against those kinds of people. I have a strict policy of hating everyone equally. I was just emphasizing the difference between US and THEM.

What do we get? Lovely reports on how we're all future Charles Manson clones for starters. We get....

The chance to kill ourselves after being publicly humiliated on social media.

Getting the living snot beaten out of us for "being different". I mean, call me crazy, but I'd say being autistic is worse than being gay. At least they get pleasure out of the arrangement.

The list goes on. Bottom line? If you are born into this world with autism, well....we're pretty much screwed. There is no privilege or protection. The Americans with Disabilities act is about as useful as used toilet paper. I have tried literally EVERYTHING to make it on my own. I have tried the military, college, even pursuing the jobs nobody else wants, like cart pushing for instance. And each time, I was forced away by a so-called superior who decided that I no longer had any business being there.

Gets old.

You have to find a job that a) requires skill and/or intelligence that most other people don't have, b) doesn't require much social interaction, and c) people need done badly enough to put up with a weirdo. A mechanic, for instance. If someone does a good job fixing a car, gets it done in a timely fashion, and charges a fair rate, people will not care (much) if that person is odd. That's why I'm steering my son towards STEM activities. Fingers crossed.

STEM is definitely the way to go.

I would bet, if somebody is stranded on the road, and some autistic person fixes the stranded car, that the person whose car is fixed wouldn't give two craps about the neurological status of the mechanic.

It allows it because the "school" doesn't exist. There is no such thing as the Wyoming Institute of Technology, it's a made up institute.

Even at first glance, that "claim" is obviously erroneous.

Oh, that makes much more sense.
(I don't know how to make that sound not-sarcastic, but I'm not being sarcastic)

Yep! And, people laugh at me when I tell them about the government trolls and "useful idiot" tools that abound on certain web sites. This is all the evidence needed to realize that trolls and tools exist.

I could say the same about those that watch or play Pokémon, as they are all instruments of Satan.

The government and ignorant medical people are all too ready to throw people in jail, or in a psych ward, even when nothing is wrong, or someone just needs a little help. Sometimes a person's words, or behavior, or actions can be misunderstood, and if a person is known to have a "scary" and drastically misunderstood neurological condition, they are more likely to over react, and take the wrong actions, so I agree with one of the other posters. For my own protection from such dangerous bias, I don't plan on "coming out" as an Aspie. Only a few family members know. I can pass as fairly normal in casual interactions most of the time, but prolonged or more intense interaction makes it clear that I am very different. Fortunately, being a hermit type of person, my interactions with members of the public are kept to a minimum. I also wear a social "mask" of civilness, and mild friendliness at those times, which helps to cover up my differentness to a certain extent. However, I will definitely maintain a low profile regarding my Asperger's.
