Horrifying portrayal of Aspie man in local paper

Post Reply New Topic

This man might fit in with the group described in this paper:
Malice and Asperger Syndrome

I wonder what they mean by looking through someone's windows? Do they mean he was right up against the glass, staring in? Or was he just walking past and casually glanced in through the windows, and the woman assumed he was clearly a peeping tom because he's "ret*d" afterall... I think that's the problem with the media, you never get the full story.

And we wonder how Hitler convinced people that disabled people should be killed. All they needed was a little push in the right direction.

I'm more amused than horrified or offended or whatever, I sort of laughed in a "heh" way. It's obvious that the writer of this article hasn't been doing enough research before he wrote that article, probably heard something about "lack of empathy" and thought that would cause his criminal behaviour.
But yeah I'm just very amused at the writer's lack of knowledge about the subject. And since I'm also an aspie (lol noooo) that makes me dangerous as well beware of the crazy aspie she is currently unsupervised and out to cause mayhem!!

Whether he had autism or not. It is not relevant to his criminal behavior. Also claims PTSD..hmm.

Maybe the story can be even more sensationalized:
Did he have a troubled childhood?
What was his race and/or ethnic background?
Any religious influences?
Drugs?

come on media, you can spice up the story with irrelevant crap.

To the author and editor of this article: it is just awful, in so many ways--do your research.
