Autistic son charged in death of professor in Ohio

Another story that will make us all look like monsters.

Yep... dangerous animals, not safe to have around, like a chimp or something...

It sucks to be a chimp in a man-dominated world.

OOK OOK!

AFAIC she deserved to die if only because she named the kid "Sky" Walker.

Whether or not he is autistic is immaterial. He has been mentally abused for the past 18 years...

Oh so it's okay for us to kill? Oh okay. Next time my bf pisses me off and doesn't listen to me, I will grab a knife and stab him in the stomach and have all the aspies say he deserved it because he should have left me alone during my meltdown when I told him so.

Why is it that whenever there is a news report of a criminal who just happens to be autistic they always have to mention that he is autistic? When someone who is dyslexic commits a crime they don't always mention that he's dyslexic. When someone who has ADHD commits a crime they don't always mention that he has ADHD. Autism doesn't usually play a factor in a criminal's act.

Whenever there is a news report of a crime by someone black, they damn sure mention that... maybe we're just the negros of mental health...

The other article is posted around here somewhere. They mention it because it most likely played a major part in his mother's death.

Because of the wild variances in the level of Autism.

If he has been an HFA/Aspie it probably would not have come up.

OTOH there are LFA or essentially NFAs out there who have almost ZERO control of their physicality. There is a small child like that at my church.

When a small child becomes violent - autistic or not - an adult can usually handle it.

OTOH when a cognitively impared ADULT person (and 18 qualifies) - autistic or otherwise neurologicly impared/delayed/whatever - becomes violent, only properly trained people can handle such an onslaught without becomming seriously injured.

Therefore the neurological imparement - whatever the label - is as material to the report as if he had been on crack.

The Sad/Unfortunate/Stigmatizing thing is that they made/generally make no differentiation as to where the "Autistic" person is on the Spectrum.

Spokane_Girl... There is such a thing as Ironic Humor - I was trying to use it to point out that the "victim" - by giving her child the name "Sky Walker" - was so unaware of the fundamential consequences of her actions that she probably did many, many other things wrong in the care/support of her LFA child...

Well were you implying it was okay for the LFA to kill his mother because she named him Sky?
You did say she deserved to die.

No, I was no more implying that it woud be OK for him to kill his mother that I was implying that I would have actually beaten a boss and cow orker to death with a stapler (as I suggested in another thread).

Now, maybe a Starwars Geek would find it cool to be called "Sky Walker", but any kid who had to deal with other kids would be mocked mercilessly for it. This shows a fundamental lack of understanding of some elements of child rearing, and had she been MY mother I would have likely taken emancipation the day I was eligible and changed my name.

For the same reason that "they" must mention the ethnicity of an arrestee, but only if he or she is not caucasian / white.

"Three black youths were arrested on charges of..."

"Latino gangmembers were held and questioned..."

"Ms. Lee, a Chinese-American, was bound over for trial..."

Yes it would have. It *always* does. Or at least most of the time.
