Autism Defense Again

And here I thought younger then 18 was a juvinile regardless ... But I guess if the child did kill the parent then it would only make sense to be tried as an adult.

Let's not go too far that direction, this is a double-blind behind antivax rabble. I think by this point the only level at which we should be self-conscious of ASD is individually. When some a***hole is wrong about you, comfortably let them be wrong before lining their pockets with Google SEO revenues.

It's pretty obvious that this slimy character has far more to blame for his behaviour than just his "Asperger's Syndrome". If A.S. were his only issue, he would know that his inability to talk to women cannot justify what he did. Looking at his photo, I cannot but help think that he is seriously mentally challenged as well.

Well, actually, there are many within the "autistic community" who agree with your assessment that having such a condition is more than just a difference, but a disorder as well - like me. Of course, those who disagree with the mainstream view that everyone is on some kind of 'spectrum' and that 'neurodiversity' is a wonderful thing, are not often heard. Perhaps they should speak out more often, and do so LOUDLY, because the ones who are pushing the silly identity-politics mantra of 'diversity' need to challenged, and have their odious views repudiated.

That seems to be implying he did it so he basically admitted it.

So she did try to assist her mother but her mother said she was fine and didn't need help so the daughter did what she was told. At least she didn't just leave her there and do nothing. I also lack of thinking to do things so I can see why the daughter wouldn't even think about holding her mother up to have her take a drink.

I suspect the ones who say it's only a difference and not a disability don't really have it. They may have all the symptoms or lot of them but they are not severe enough for it to impact their lives to a degree it causes them an impairment and making it hard for them to function. Also just because someone can feel lot of things in clothing (seams, tags, ets.) and have above normal hearing and an acute sense of smell doesn't mean they have a sensory disorder. It has to impair them and impact their life. My mom doesn't like fluorescent lights and they hurt her eyes and she is not on the spectrum but it doesn't affect her life even though they're everywhere. She also doesn't like short shorts so she has to wear long shorts to her knees and she doesn't like bare skin on leather and she does't like bass. Also she gets exhausted after being out in public for too long and she has come home from work and needs to be alone.

I talk to someone online who thinks they're borderline AS but he says he doesn't have autism because it doesn't impact his life and other aspies he has met, their symptoms were more severe than his and he saw how it really impacted them. He doesn't see himself as having a disability and he isn't self diagnosed. I wonder how he feels about this whole neurodiversity thing. I know other autistic people get frustrated with it and some are actually against it.
