""He carried a black briefcase to his 10th-grade honors English class, and sat near the door so he could readily slip in and out. When called upon, he was intelligent, but nervous and fidgety, spitting his words out, as if having to speak up were painful.

Pale, tall and scrawny, Adam Lanza walked through high school in Newtown, Conn., with his hands glued to his sides, the pens in the pocket of his short-sleeve, button-down shirts among the few things that his classmates recalled about him


Several said in separate interviews that it was their understanding that he had a developmental disorder. They said they had been told that the disorder was Asperger syndrome, which is considered to be a high functioning form of autism.""

Excerpt from article.

News articles also claim James Holmes had this disorder.


I am getting worried now. I hope that we are not stereotyped and singled out for this crap. I have been bullied and beat up enough in my 22 years.

I just watched a psychologist on the Piers Morgan CNN show describe autistics and Aspies as having no empathy. He tried to kind of back down later, but the overwhelming impression was that we're potentially dangerous.

I was so upset when I heard about this. Now I hear he has Asperger's. Oh my.

maybe he was visiting this website before..

Goddess DAMN it this is really starting to piss me off. They want to see an Aspie go postal? The next f****r that decides that having Asperger's is an excuse to shoot people at random is going to be down the barrel from MY gun. And I'm a pretty good marksman.

And course doesn't help that the media sees this issue as merely a profitable story (playing off peoples fears == more airtime == $$$). I swear to Goddess this world has gone to s**t. Part of me hopes the Mayans were right and we only have a week left until humanity's extinction. Not that humanity needs a cataclysm to facilitate it's own demise, they're doing a pretty Goddess-damned job of it on their own IMHO.

Makes me think about my therapist's intake questionare. She asks if anyone owns a gun.

the last thing we need are people who are too hysteric

there are many more killers in potential in the US and other places.

for me it feels the same just to be intimidated by them.

fear from death is awful too. and we are all facing this fear each moment.
