Anders Behring Breivik -Aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

I think it will turn out that he is an attention-seeking 'sane' insane nutter and there isn't much more to it than that.

However and irrespective of this, the politicians don't help themselves.

Was there ever a girfriend or boyfriend? Is he a virgin?

i wonder if a narcissist is an aspie who learned social skills

I have never watched the tv series 'True Blood', but from what I have read and heard regarding the program, I find myself thinking that True Blood is something that wouild be greatly enjoyed by a person with NPD. Similarly to the tv program 'Dexter', when a person passionately describes their interest in the program, I find myself analysing their behaviour for signs of narcissism. I am not saying that all viewers of these program are likely NPD (though I would not object to their being monitored, and something done as an effort to prevent them massacring people), but in this case the other behaviours exhibited by Breivik are congruent, to me.

No. Just no.

Aspies are born Aspies. Narcissists aren't born narcissists. They are a product of their environment.

He makes some detailed references to "partying" but says he's never had time for a long term relationship.

He mentions that his US-based sister bugs him about getting a girlfriend. He claims to like that sister but reveals some really embarrassing details about her sexual history.

He classifies his step-mother as a class B traitor due to her previous work in government. Though he is fond of her he makes it clear that he wouldn't hold it against other "knights" if they executed her.



No ego there.

Why do Aspies here always relate to people who go on murderous rampages?

I kind of agreed that Jared Loughner could have been, but mostly because of the way his old friends described him. He wasn't always psychotic.

I don't know much about Anders except that he is most likely a piece of garbage.

Do you all relate to this guy?

Why?

Why do you say that? Have you not been reading? Quite a few have stated we think he is insane.

Because every time something like this happens, people here are wondering if the person was an Aspie a few days later.

Yes, I have read most of the replies. But if people here didn't relate to him , this thread wouldn't exist. I wasn't really asking those who have already replied.

whether you guys like it or not he has a bunch of traits similar to us.

you can put your head in the sand and try to ignore it. or you can try to understand. i think there's a generalized spectrum of disorders of PDD which a large percentage of the world's population fits into.

it makes no difference to me if he's classified with autism because there is zero chance i would do something similar. i'm more concerned about understanding our condition better and improving everyone's quality of life. maybe we have some keys to unlocking guys like this norway killer to avoid it in future.

I kind of agree it's NPD, if anything. Plus a Norwegian psychiatrist on NPR used the word narcissist several times when talking about this guy.

That he believes he's the greatest hero of the age and a savior seems like a red flag.

Yes, his manifesto makes me effing sick.

I can be apathetic toward crime, sometimes, but the fact the he would try to justify it is absolutely disgusting.

How so?

Too true. A web search for "autistic" and "Breivik" brings you straight to forums where people claiming to be on the spectrum are proposing that he is autistic. And the same when you search for many other serial monsters and political tyrants.

It is notable that no serious clinician ever makes the same link.

Well, why then did you use the word 'all' when clearly this isn't the case. You already had the answer to your question.

Hmmmm?

I always so "You all". It's like "Y'all". Sometimes I say, "Y'all", instead. YOU GUYS. YOU PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE OF WRONGPLANET.

Why are you getting nit-picky with me?
