He is not a criminal. He is autistic, intellectually disabled and mentally unwell. He experiences what experts call an "abnormal internal world", which can include bizarre hallucinations and frightening voices, and is both traumatising and unpleasant.

Ashley, who was the subject of a documentary last year, is a compulsory patient under the Mental Health Act.

Quote:

They described how Ashley was commonly denied requests due to a lack of staff, such as watching a DVD, having a cup of tea or going for a walk. Instead he takes frequent baths, or cleans his room, spending hours wiping the walls.

This exposes the viciousness, hatefulness and cruelty of neurotypical society.
