There are autistic people who are nasty and autistic people who are gentle and kind, just as there are non-autistics who are nasty and non-autistics who are gentle and kind.
The autistic person who is 'nasty', in my opinion is unlikely to be so from any scheming or devious behaviour but probably more from sensory difficulties that affect them so much and their 'bad behaviour' is a reaction to that. I couldn't double-cross you, or 'double-deal', if I tried! That sort of behaviour (double-crossing/double dealing) tends to be IMO a character trait that is typical (or at least far more typical) of non-autistic people.
I think there are autistic people whose obsessions and way of thinking develop into a deviant thought, for instance suggestions that Adam Lanza had Asperger's (although be careful about how these people are diagnosed or not as some are just rumours and not actual fact) and also that guy who posted a youtube video last year - I forget which person that was now. Apparently revenge at "all women being bad" because he had had no success getting any girlfriend. It's perhaps because the condition can give rise to that, due to inability of the sufferer to recognise body language signals that are saying "come on, I like you!" and thus missing out. I know that I've had that and thus never had a girlfriend - things could have been different if I had not but, perhaps from knowing this, I'm also happy with the way I am and happy not having had relationships, so it also depends on way in which the individual reacts and what their thoughts are. Just the same as non-autistic people - there are some with thoughts of mass murder (a deviant minority) but the vast majority of non-autistic people do not have that reaction to how 'events' have treated them.
Anyone can be caught up in mental illness (a different issue) and other issues and not necessarily be deviant. Many more are more the victims of society than the killers, although having a mental illness or a condition that isn't mental illness is not an excuse for being a killer. Those who are the victims deserve our support and full help.
Autistic people do tend to be the victims more than the person committing a crime.
Murder and killings? :eek: I feel much better now savvy......thanks:rotfl::rotfl:
On a serious note, I agree with you though. I've always been quite pleased that DS2 hasn't paid heed to any negative comments. He's very thick skinned and any perpetrators usually get fed up at his nonchalance and move on.
This time though, the lad in question has threatened him with violence and that has really scared him. He still won't talk about it but has written (typed) how he's feeling. Made me very sad reading itBut hopefully it will be sorted out soon
