it depends on the persons level of autism and their mental capacity, if they have a regular or above mental capacity [aka the high functioning spectrum] then they have no excuses for not knowing the consequences of what they are doing,the only genuine reason behind any forensic behaviors for aspies is obsessions that have gone wild but that still isnt an excuse and it woudnt get them out of a sentance of some kind.
pretty much every murderer with an ASD has had a lot of other issues alongside; dysfunctional family, sometimes abuse or violence in the family, isolation, bullying, homicidal unstable depression etc.
Quote:
Correct me if I'm wrong but stalking a ex-girlfriend does not seem like a behavior that an autistic person would do. especially to the extreme that the court docs describe it as.
at the old residential home of mine;in their supported living service,one of the lads there was a severe aspie and he had a lot of forensic behaviors and was arrested many times for them,one of which was stalking women and following them home.
another example woud be the alleged murderer aspie;barry george who had a people obsession and woud stalk his favourites,he even admits it;
