It could be that there there are two types of crimes, one is meant to be harmless and the other is meant to be harmful.

I did a research that sometimes, in some people with ASD, restricted interests can turn into criminal behaviors, but it was meant to be harmless, because they are so fixated on objects that they are interested in and the other is due to not understanding social boundaries.

I think different types of crimes need to be locked at, because some crimes are meant to be harmless, but most of crimes are not meant to be harmless.

Definitely, bus-guy isn't stealing the bus to harm anyone and might not even fully understand the potential for harm except for as it's being explained to him. Obviously he can't just be allowed to keep doing it, but it deserves to be understood and addressed differently from someone who fully understands the risks associated with the same behaviour.

Most people with autism don't engage in criminal activity.

Of those who do, inability to understand social norms might be a contributing factor to their criminality.

The study FranzOren has linked to isn't about people diagnosed as Aspergers, it's about people diagnosed as HFA and specifically focuses on how more severe social impairments play a role, relative to people with Aspergers.

Also worth noting, and contrary to preferred opinion here:

Quote:


It's possible for people with HFA or ASD in general to be over-represented as victims and also be over-represented as perpetrators.


are you sure you hotlinked the right study?
