This is very sad. I have to wonder if there is more to the story than what is being reported.

Wow. I wonder what the story is behind this girl's intentions. I can only imagine . . .

Interesting to read about another girl (besides my younger self) who 'barked and growled'. These stories seem to be popping up more often.

Tragedy.

If she was indeed experimenting with "Satanism", she could have opened herself up to all sorts of mega bad juju, literally. Even something as simple as a Ouija board can be bad news for some. It sounds like this boyfriend of hers was a seriously creepy dude. She started wearing all black, calling herself a "goth" and talking about vampires and Satanism after she met him. This from a middle schooler who was wearing cat ears and calling herself "half-cat" only a couple years prior. It's possible that he planted ideas in her head that she wouldn't have had otherwise. Some aspies are weak and susceptible to all sorts of bad influences.

Edit: After reading more, I have to say I'm reminded of another case, here in California, where a 14 year old girl ordered her 19 year old bf to kill her mom. Both were NT, and the girl was described as "bad" and "strange". She'd apparently been having a sexual relationship with the guy, and Mom found the two in flagrante delicto in her house one day, and Mom was trying to press statutory rape charges. So he killed her, and then the two kids drove to San Francisco, where they abandoned their car, checked into a hotel room, and ate rat poison in a suicide attempt. When it didn't work, they started walking south, being apprehended at the Tanforan shopping mall in San Bruno, about 10 miles south of downtown SF. The guy was sentenced to death; the girl got 15 years because she testified against him.

I wonder if she was abused.

UGH! Just when I thought people would start acting mature and not jumping to conclusions about AS and this happens, and it's going to take the media and it's following witch hunters, on yet a new quest to rid the land of the vile creatures that sweep their lands by using this case as "evidence" that they're right.

And when are people going to get it right (especially the media)? AS is NOT a "mental disorder", it's a neurological one, there is a distinct difference.

To quote the mighty Voltan (from the 1980 version of Flash Gordon): "What a d*mn nuisance!" *waves fist sarcastically but strongly*

It seems as though her father might have abused her.

This is just one more reason not to ever "come out" as an Aspie, not matter how high-functioning you may be.

there was a kid from boston with AS who was into dark fantasy stuff.killed a classmate with a knife.

he got life without parole at age 17

Hello Jaden, your post makes more sense to me today, apologies for any confusion.

On topic - There are no signs of abuse in this case yet, if anyone has seen evidence of this then please post it. Jumping to this conclusion is a similar act to the journalists wanting to assign guilt to the Aspergers diagnosis.

It reads to me that the victim was considered a good parent, it seems more likely that any corrupting influence was from the boyfriend. Discussing the potential trait of naivete in the daughter could be much more relevant here considering what is known, from cat ears to murder in a year.

Fnord, I'm sure that Maximising Scandal is a compulsory module on all "decent" courses.
