Agreed. Every week I hear of a murder or a rape or a molestation, and Autism is never mentioned.


Did anyone say "Aspie children are the only children who are victimized?" I didn't see that, I saw a question that seemed to mean "Are Aspie children more vulnerable to sexual predation?" And to that, the answer is "yes," statistically speaking.

These questions aren't an absolute where it must either be Aspies or it must be NTs, but it cannot be both. And Aspie/NT is a huge false dichotomy anyway, as there are a lot of reasons why a child might be more likely to be sexually abused. For example, just being female is a greater risk factor than being male, and yet this doesn't mean that only girls are raped.

Nope. If you question authority more than your peers...think about it.

BUT, all children are children. Pedophiles will target children period. Most children are naive. In order to grow out of being naive, you live and learn.

I know someone who has aspergers. A guy tried to lure him in his car when he was a child. He hit the man and ran but looked behind to memorize the license plate number. The man was caught. Turned out he murdered several children.
