Was Elliot Rodger NT or autistic?

Yeesh a murderer? I thought it was an actor before I read the other posts. I don't want to know what he did. He will never be a "hero" for me, that's for sure.

He probably was completely spoiled and had everything handed to him his whole life.

So maybe he expected women to just show up on his doorstep.

Or maybe he preferred to complain about it and hold a grudge over it, rather than actually try finding a date.

But what's the purpose in all this?

What does he gain by this?

I just don't get it.

The negativity in his existence was incredible. And he could have easily done something about it.

Hopefully, he'll do better in his "next life."

It was more than that.

I had social anxiety....of the stuttering, blubbering variety.

And I wasn't really all that good-looking. And I was short.

I wonder where he got the idea that women should approach HIM. This only happens, usually, on Sadie Hawkins Day.

Why was this your first post, OP? It seems rather trollish.

It's a tragedy. And there will be people who will think he's some sort of hero or martyr.

I read the manifesto about three years ago.

Lol. I guess he would trigger sensory issues in some aspies. LOL!

Wish he were a little less sophomoric in style. What he is saying is reasonable: Lets put aside our political agendas for a moment (pro gun, anti gun, more mental health care, prayer in school, scapegoating video games, etc. And look at this particular one case (and not worry yet about if it applies to other cases), and see how this particular crime could have been prevented. Then he goes into analyzing it-largely based on Rodgers own hundred page manifesto. But yeah I also bailed about two thirds the way through when he started getting even more over the top and loud. But I got most of his points about what he thinks caused this guy to do this one crime.

My impression of him was that he was incredibly narcissistic in that he had an inflated sense of ego, and was upset that the world didn't work according to how he thought it should work. He was also illogical. Those of us on the spectrum might occasionally come to some strange conclusions on things by virtue of the fact that we often form our ideas independent of the input of others, but quickly revise them when provided with more logical alternatives. I'm skeptical he was on the spectrum but even if he were, he obviously had other issues which transcended that.
